TREE PLANTING PHOTOS

(Top): Year 2 and 3 pupils at Pinner Wood First School, Pinner, Harrow, joined Harrow Mayor Cllr Paddy Lyne, Council Leader Cllr Navin Shah and Alupro representative Ross Sheppard at a tree planting ceremony in the school grounds. The event was part of the Trees for the UK/ Trees for Africa initiative the borough signed up to last year. The scheme donates a tree to the borough and one to a place in Africa every time a tonne of aluminium cans is recycled. (Left): Birmingham tree planting ceremony.

All over the country, mayors, businessmen and young children are planting trees. Good thing too. We're thinking of having a photo competition for the best (and worst) tree planting pictures. The prize: a tree to plant (When we find one, we'll let you know what species it is). More details to come.
