Trinity Meadow Community Tree Planting Event

Community Trees MK are planting at Trinity Meadow on Saturday 21 November, from 10:00 to 14:00. It's one of several sessions they're running across Milton Keynes, with local people doing the actual planting and The Parks Trust providing the trees.

Trinity Meadow is part of the Wetland Arc project at the northern end of the city, near the river Great Ouse. Because of where it sits, the planting is restricted to wetland tree species — the kind that can handle having their feet wet. If you've spent any time around the river, you'll know exactly the sort of ground we're talking about.

It's a free event, and you don't need any prior experience to get involved. The whole point is that it's run by local people, so if you've never held a spade in your life, you'll be in good company. You just turn up and help get the trees in the ground.

If you're planning to come, the details are straightforward: Trinity Meadow, Wolverton, MK12 5NH, near the river Great Ouse, on Saturday 21 November from 10:00 to 14:00. It's free to take part.
