National Tree Week

The 34th annual National Tree Week will run from 26th November to 7th December 2008. First run in 1975, National Tree Week was launched to follow up the success of National Tree Planting Year, with its slogan "Plant A Tree In ‘73". Every year, upward of half a million adults and children take part in around 2000 events across the UK, organised by Tree Council member organisations, many of its 8000 volunteer Tree Wardens, local community groups and schools across the UK.

Most events involve tree planting, but many also use other ways of raising tree awareness such as walks through woodlands, tree identification tours and tree surveys as well as tree identification workshops and storytelling. Many local authorities also give out free tree packs to those who wished to plant their own.

Visit The Tree Council's website, www.treecouncil.org.uk for details of National Tree Week events and tips on tree planting and aftercare. Event information is also available from the Tree Council infoline, 020 7940 8180 (office hours)
