Councillor Martin Wilby, Tree Warden and Deputy Leader of South Norfolk Council
The annual Autumn tradition of collecting trees and hedges to celebrate National Tree Week is set for another success in South Norfolk this year.
Around 36 parishes from across the district will be sending their volunteer Tree Wardens to collect free hedging and trees for planting.
Since this initiative was started by the council in 2000, a total of eight miles of hedges and 4,288 trees have been planted.
South Norfolk Deputy Leader, Councillor Martin Wilby is a Tree Warden and will be at the council on Friday 23 November from 10am to 12.30pm to collect his trees and hedges for the parish of Dickleburgh.
He said:
"This is a very popular scheme with South Norfolk's volunteer tree wardens. Working closely with their communities, both urban and rural, planting native trees and hedging will create vital habitat and food for wildlife, especially birds. This will also help safeguard our environment for future generations."
