Could you help plant 150 trees in Littlemoor?
Weymouth Town Council is asking us to give them a hand this weekend
There's a plea from Weymouth Town Council for volunteers to help them plant 150 trees in Littlemoor this Sunday (12th February).
It's aimed at creating a new wildlife habitat for the area, enhancing the local landscape and helping to slow down the effects of climate change.
If you can help, you're asked to go along to the water tower next to the skate park on Louviers Road, this Sunday (12th February) between 10.00am and 12.30pm.
Take a spade and gloves with you and wear some sturdy footwear.
Mayor of Weymouth, Cllr Colin Huckle said:
“I encourage people to join Weymouth Town Council gardeners and get involved with this tree planting event in Littlemoor this weekend to create a greener environment for all to enjoy.
“Volunteering is a very rewarding experience. You can learn new skills, meet new people, and feel a great sense of achievement knowing that your involvement has made a noticeable difference to the area and the local community.”
Some tree planting has already taken place in other parts of Weymouth to help mitigate against climate change.
The 1st and 2nd Wyke Regis Brownies helped out with planting in their local area.
Cllr Huckle said:
“In response to the climate threat, Weymouth Town Council declared a climate emergency and we have committed to making the council’s activities net zero carbon by 2030. The planting of trees in Littlemoor and at Wyke Regis last weekend is one of many actions which we are taking in order to help achieve this.”
