TREE PLANTING AT EASTCOMBE SPORTS PITCH ON SATURDAY 1 FEBRUARY
Bisley with Lypiatt Parish Council are planting five large Lime trees to make a statement that they strongly support climate change actions that aid carbon storage and provide for future shade against the hot summer sun. All of our community are welcome to come along to the sports pitch for a Tree Planting Ceremony at 11.00am. The trees which should be 3 metres tall will be planted along the perimeter of the field opposite the mature limes, beech and oaks in the Pleasure Ground. As they grow they will continue to extend the ‘avenue’ that we all enjoy as we enter Eastcombe from Old Neighbourhood.
