ADOPT A TREE - 12 MARCH 2016 AT 11 am

A message from Zaria:

Dear all, the weather still looks like great weather for tree-planting, and due to a couple of dropouts we have TWO TREES LEFT!! If you'd like to make your mark for the future, help the fields and feel good about yourself and your community, drop me a line.

Adopting a tree entails taking scrupulous care for it for two years after planting. The young trees need watering once a week in the warmer months, and fortnightly in spring and autumn. We meet at 11am on the fields with our watering cans and Glendale staff facilitate our access to water (which is sometimes fun..). Each young tree needs 50 litres of water a week. If you can't make a watering or are going on holiday your tree will be watered by others, and you are asked to water others' trees when they're away.

You get to see you tree flourish over time, put out more branches and go through the seasonal cycles every year with more health and strength, and you can feel that you have contributed a small piece of health to the urban environment.

Write to peopleandwildilife@blythehillfields.org.uk if you'd like a tree, or pm me on Facebook, or if all else fails, write to info@zariagreenhill.co.uk
