Plymouth Tree People are excited to inform you that we have been looking at places in Blockhouse Park and by the steps up from Pasley Street to plant more trees, at the request of local residents, and the community group Stoke in Bloom. If we get a positive response from residents and park users, the planting will be done with the support of The Plymouth & South Devon Community Forest (PSDCF) and funded by the DEFRA ‘Nature for Climate’ fund.
Please let us know what you think, and do get in touch if you have any questions.
We would also love to hear from you if you would like to help us plant the trees or help water them once they are planted.
