The beautiful South Downs National Park is described as’ the most wooded National Park in England’. Trees provide all kinds of resources and benefits to us generally, many unseen and taken for granted. They help to reduce pollution and prevent flooding. They are also an asset in our communities where their beauty can increase property values and provide a sense of wellbeing.
All these benefits are recognised during National Tree Week which runs annually from 1st December. To mark their significance and demonstrate the importance of trees to our landscape and culture a locally grown oak tree was planted in a hedgerow by Lord Gardiner, Minister for Rural Affairs and Biosecurity he commented: “I am delighted to be here in this wonderful and wooded National Park, to celebrate National Tree Week. We can all be proud of these beautiful parts of our country. It has been a particular honour to plant an oak, which I am proud to call our national tree. It is vitally important we continue to value our nation’s trees, ensuring their resilience against the threats they face. That is why we are investing more than £37 million to understand pests and diseases and find new ways to tackle them.” For more information or if you require Tree surgery in Farnborough, call us today.
