Our trees for National Tree Week and beyond arrived at the Bromford depot on Tuesday 12th November, where our keen BTP team was bright and early to receive the trees!

Plenty of hard work done to unload and organise over 130 semi-mature trees. Through our various city-wide projects, we will be planting all over Birmingham: Newtown, The Zephaniah Forest, Alum Rock, Sheldon, Handsworth, Kings Heath, Highters Heath, Holder’s Wood, and more.

We sorted through the trees to make sure our inventory lists match (they never do), and we sorted them into planting groups depending on their locations.

Our first tree planted this year will be for the Treemembrance programme, run by Julianne Statham, who has been working hard with the sponsors to ensure their memorial and commemorative trees are planted.

We will be planting The Zephaniah Forest during Tree Week and beyond, with Benjamin’s loved ones and volunteer groups over Birmingham, as well as the inclusion of an orchard for Benjamin’s love of fruit trees. We look forward to putting these trees in the ground, just as we did last year, and will every year!
