Another two Community Tree Planting sites confirmed…Harvey Street North, Accrington and Lower Barnes Street, Accrington.
At Lower Barnes Street, the plan is to focus the planting on the Northern end of the site, and create a bit more species diversity along the woodland edge.
Residents at Harvey Street North were hugely supportive of a tree planting initiative in 2022, and we’re delighted that there’ll be another opportunity for people to help the team plant trees including Silver Birch, Wild Cherry, Rowan and Hawthorn across the site this year too. The updated plan for the site is below, and signs and plans will be displayed at each location in the coming weeks 🙂

We are delighted to be supporting Hyndburn Borough Council with their Community Tree Planting project. The project, run with Prospects Foundation and Trees for Cities forms part of a wider woodland creation drive aimed at taking tangible action to tackle climate change, and enabling local people to become ‘Tree People’ and get directly involved in planting trees and looking after woodlands. The ambition is to ‘plant a tree for every household’ by the middle of our decade of climate action. This project, together with other local environment initiatives, will help scale up natural solutions for the planet and for people, by capturing carbon and enhancing the biodiversity across our area.
So far, two planting sites have been confirmed at Bullough Park, Accrington and Station Road, Great Harwood and the team would love to get some feedback from local people about the plans for the area closest to them. You can do this by clicking on the survey links below. The survey is very short, only three questions, and will only take a couple of minutes to complete.

Proposed plans for both sites will be displayed in the planting locations in the coming weeks, and are included for you below. Once the planting plans have been finalised, we’ll be offering local people the opportunity to get involved with the tree planting days too. We’ll share dates and details on here once we have them, so do check back for details – everyone is welcome and it would be great to see you there!
