The Woodland trust Scotland is providing free trees to groups and educational institutions to commemorate their Diamond Jubilee.
The range of packed trees is for the taking. They vary from throughout the year colour to wild harvest. Fuel wood and wildlife, all of them so packed in varying sizes so that they can be used in different sites according to what would suit that soil. Every pack consists of a sapling of the Royal Oak that has been nurtured from acorns that have been collected on the royal estate. If one hopes to avail of a pack of medium, meaning 105 trees or big, that would mean 420 trees, the group or institution would have to sign up via the Internet on or before the 20th of the current month. However those educational institutions that require just 60 trees for planting have time till October to proffer their applications.
Throughout the length and breadth of Scotland there is a total 102,000 trees that have been given away earlier in the year, of which 4300 trees were provided to Angus and Dundee.
Before the end of the current year the Woodland Trust would have provided help to plant a sum total of six million trees across the United Kingdom and two million trees in Scotland. This enduring mark of respect to the diamond jubilee year of Her Majesty the Queen of England, would be beneficial to both human beings and the wild life for many, many years that follow.
The Director of the Woodland Trust Scotland, Ms. Carol Evans stated that groups throughout Scotland other than just making an astonishing difference were also pumping in money into the lasting advantages that the tree will offer, like shelter and shade as well as a place to live in for animals and birds. There was a proverb that said that the most excellent period to plant trees would have been twenty years back, and the next most excellent time would be just now. She said that they were providing a chance for the people to make their niche in history by assisting to alter the scenery of Scotland in one generation.
