Since 2019, The Parish Council has planted over 400 trees in Salfords and Sidlow. These have come from the Woodland Trust, Surrey County Council and purchased by ourselves. Trees have been planted on Pear Tree Hill, Salfords Social Club, Monotype Sports and Social Club, Salfords Primary Schoo, Christ the King Church, Westvale Park roundabout on A217 and also in residents garden.
We are seeking your help in identifyingother areas where we can plant trees. Perhaps a roadside verge outside your house or common or other open areas in Salfords and Sidlow.
We still have more work to do on this but are thinking about enabling residents to dedicate and record their tree dedication and location in a ‘Parish Tree Register’, perhaps for a new born relative or to commemorate someone who has passed away. Future generations may then be able to see our legacy.
An ideal would be a dedicated area where we could plant multiple trees that could be looked after for two years. Perhaps you would or know someone who would be willing to allocate some land?
We live in a beautiful parish with much greenery and trees to enjoy, however as we know, trees are increasingly vital to our environment and planting more can only be a good thing!
If you are interested in any of the above, please contact the Clerk.
