Barnoldswick tree planting scheme to celebrate Queen's Diamond Jubilee
8:00pm Monday 6th February 2012 in News
HUNDREDS of new trees are to be planted in Barnoldswick to help celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
The Barnoldswick in Bloom group has received 420 mini-trees from the Woodland Trust to plant, and it hopes to get residents involved in the planting on Saturday.
The small saplings will make a new hedge eventually providing a harvest of berries, fruit and nuts for decades to come.
The hedge is being established alongside the new access track off Greenberfield Lane to the car park at the back of Barnoldswick Town Football Club.
Ken Hartley, Barnoldswick in Bloom secretary, said: “We hope it will be fun day when people can join in making something which Barnoldswick residents can enjoy for years and years to come.
“At this time of year we know that birds and other wildlife need shelter and the benefits that hedges provide. When it's grown, this hedge will also be harvestable by people wanting to make things like jams and jellies, cordials and chutneys.”
Barnoldswick is the second area in East Lancashire to benefit from the Woodland Trust scheme, with Civic Pride in Rossendale receiving 420 trees last tear.
The Trust is helping groups around the country improve their areas, increase native woodland and celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
People who would like to help make this long-lasting new feature for the town can meet at 10am on Saturday at the car park to the rear of Barnoldswick Town Football Club, off Greenberfield Lane.
People who want to join in the hedge-planting are recommended to come prepared with a coat, warm clothes and boots or wellies. It will help if they can bring their own spades but equipment will be provided.

the royal family are degenerate maniacs, why you accord them respect staggers me, let alone the sycophancy you display. read your histories; murder, betrayal, sadistic cruelty and psychopathy, inbreeding and an innate disregard for the lives of ordinary people.
that is "your' royal family; mad deluded spongers, your stance is little changed from the days of the "northern daily telegraph' imploring the men of the area to march off to their deaths in the name of empire. ridiculous and archaic.
