“Trees and hedgerows help us tackle climate change, provide homes for wildlife, improve our health and so much more. 

"We need to help them back and by getting involved, you’ll be part of growing a greener, tree-filled future for all of us."

The Tree Council's official National Tree Week webpage featured more than 100 planting opportunities, events, talks, and tours.

Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, Poringland Library, and Stalham Library hosted tree-themed displays.
