AN EXHIBITION showcasing a scheme to plant oak trees in 35 parishes in memory of the area’s First World War fallen will be on display until the new year.
It will be on show at the offices of Ribble Valley Borough Council after first being staged at Clitheroe Castle.
It includes a map depicting the tree sites, photos of several plantings and artwork with a First World War theme by pupils of St Mary’s CE Primary School, Mellor.
Oak trees bearing plaques in memory of the hundreds of young Ribble Valley men who lost their lives during the Great War have been planted across the borough throughout the year.
The exhibition features dramatic battle scenes in charcoal by St Mary’s Primary School pupils Imogen Metcalf, Jake Barnett and Paige Taylor, and colourful tree images in crayon by pupils Henry Holden, Alasdair Ambler and Lucy Taylor.
