Our Green Communities team helped out Plymouth Tree People with their corporate volunteering event for SUEZ UK at Central Park!

We talked to them about the importance of caring for young trees and taught them how to properly w**d, mulch, and prune them.

We ended the day with some tree and bulb planting in the Family Tree Field to replace some dying trees and to make the space pop with colour in spring 🌳🌷
