Volunteers helped plant hawthorn, rowan, oak and birch trees in St Louis Meadow, Hanwell Fields, last weekend. The Royal Horticultural Society and Woodland Trust has given up to 200,000 tree saplings to communities across the UK. Nicholas Harrison, chairman of the Banbury in Bloom committee, said: “The planting weekend was a great success. “Tree planting projects such as these are a positive step towards encouraging and enhancing local wildlife for years to come.”
