*Update - Applications for the trees have now closed*
In honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the Alderney Wildlife Trust (AWT) has ensured that every resident of Alderney is entitled to a free tree to plant this year.
As a result of this campaign, by spring of 2023 there will be at least an additional 2,000 trees in the ground. The species available are either native to Alderney or to the Channel Islands region and include, but are not limited to:
- English Oak
- Hazel
- Silver Birch
- Rowan
- Hawthorn
These can be planted at home, in gardens or at organized tree-planting sessions held by the AWT, allowing everyone to become involved in this momentous campaign whether they own green space or not.
The AWT hosted a stall at the Party on the Butes on Thursday 2 June, 2022 as part of the Queen’s Jubilee, where numerous residents of Alderney enthusiastically signed up.
