On March 10th environmental charity Trees for Cities are inviting local residents of the Glamis Estate West to join in a community planting event.

The event is free and there will also be face painting, a bird box making workshop, nature themed arts and craft to enjoy and an Elvis impersonator performing.

Trees for Cities have been working on Glamis Estate in partnership with EastEnd Homes & Glamis Residents Association, to improve some of the outdoor spaces on the estate for the benefit of the residents. The improvements aim to green the outdoor areas through tree planting and landscaping that adds colour and interest whilst improving the biodiversity of the estate.

The community planting event is an opportunity for residents of the estate to help with the planting and beautifying of their local environment whilst enjoying this collaborative project.

Sharon Johnson, Chief Executive of Trees for Cities said “The residents on Glamis West have a real passion for improving the communal green spaces on this estate. Their local knowledge and willingness to get involved with Trees for Cities has provided a great example of community-led design”.
