PLANT MORE TREES AND WILDFLOWERS PROJECT
Thames Ditton In Bloom is looking for planting projects in Thames Ditton and Weston Green. We would welcome your suggestions for areas, e.g. :-
- neglected open spaces
- verges which would benefit from wild flower planting
- roads/streets which can be planted with trees/hedging
- other planting for carbon capture
The latest report by the Committee on Climate Change estimates 3 billion more trees need to be planted to achieve the government’s target of zero carbon emissions by 2050. Now that Elmbridge has announced a Climate Emergency, we need to see how we can help towards this target. There is funding available for projects which are viable - please see the accompanying leaflet.
If you have any ideas, please email :-
