We’ve been planting in The Zephaniah Forest with Benjamin Zephaniah Family Legacy Group and the community again!
On 23rd January we planted more trees with Millicent, Benjamin’s sister, as well as returning volunteer Ebony, and several other amazing local people in Burbury Park for The Zephaniah Forest! Millicent bought a marker to write her family’s names on the trees some of them planted together before Christmas. The rain never stops us, and Benjamin always makes the sun shine on our group right at the end.
We were joined by Yvonne from Birmingham Open Spaces Forum as well as BCC’s Pat Whyte, and a member of Burbury Park Community Forum! Thank you to everyone who helped us, Katy for the snack table, particularly Birmingham City Council Woodlands Team member Nick and a few incredible guys from the Parks Team, as well as Penny who has helped us for several of these plantings.
Our FINAL PLANTING DAY will be 13th February 2025, 10:30am, and we want to see EVERYONE there to plant the last 9 trees dedicated to Benjamin Zephaniah. Other main sponsors: Trees for Cities, Veolia
