A TREE planting session is to be held at a woodland created to commemorate the birth of millennium babies in Hyndburn.

Volunteers will be out at the Millennium Baby Woodland, off Burnley Road, Altham, on Saturday, January 29, to add to the growing area.

The woodland, built on the site of a former coal spoil tip, is now two years old with a tree planted for each Hyndburn baby born in the year 2000.

The planting follows a similar event in November, when about 20 volunteers helped to plant 150 oak trees in three hours.

The work was carried out to expand the woodland and replace trees which had not survived being planted on coal spoil.

The latest session runs from 11am to 2pm. For more information call Mike Stapleford on 01254 380176.
