Please note that as part of the recent CLA restructuring the counties of the East Midlands region have been divided between the new CLA East region and the new Midlands region. Consequently, existing news releases from the East Midlands are now only available on this website as archived articles. Members based in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire are now part of CLA East and should go to CLA East News for releases in their region. And members in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland are now part of the Midlands and should go to Midlands News for releases in their region. Do your bit to help our National Forest grow, urges rural watchdog Rural watchdog, the Country Land and Business Association (CLA), is backing a scheme by the National Forest which will encourage the growth of woodland in our region.
'Plantatree' is a gift that aims to get people out in the fresh air and help the National Forest grow in the heart of the Midlands. CLA Midlands spokesman Tim Barnes-Clay said: "The National Forest covers over 200 square miles of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire. Nearly eight million trees have already been planted, and we are encouraging people to do their bit and join in with their spades and wellies to plant more trees. "The woodland will always be there to visit, so what other gift could be so long lasting and ever changing, as the trees grow and the woodland and wildlife change with the seasons?" CLA member, Justin Mumford, from forestry experts Lockhart Garratt in Corby, said: "I couldn't think of a better present to give someone that will last for many years to come. It is a great way to work off the Christmas excesses and do something for the environment at the same time." When a tree is bought through the 'Plantatree' gift scheme, people will receive a personalised certificate with a special message. They will then be invited to the Forest for a special tree planting event. On the day oak, ash or birch trees will be available to plant, with the help of foresters. The tree costs £25, which reflects the true cost of creating and developing the new woodland, including its future care and maintenance. It is easy to buy online at www.nationalforest.org/giftshop Meanwhile, the National Forest and Beyond Visitor Guide for 2010 is just out - packed with new ideas for things to see and do in this wonderful forest in the making. As well as details of attractions, events, local food and where to stay, the new guide highlights the exciting new places to go in 2010. And of course, The National Forest itself is an ever-changing landscape. Over the years and throughout the seasons, there is always something new to see. Nearly 90% of the trees that are planted are native broadleaf, and the Visitor Guide details where you can go to see particularly fine examples of the different tree species, plus local myths and legends linked with the trees and locations. There really is something for everyone in The National Forest & Beyond. Download the new Visitor Guide at www.nationalforest.org/visit/ or pick up a copy at attractions and Tourist Information Centres in and around the Forest. |
