Saplings on offer for wildlife projects

 

It’s that time of year again! Our annual sapling giveaway is back, but with a bit of a difference this year.

This will be the seventh year of our sapling giveaway and this time around we wanted to open it up to absolutely everybody, especially those of you who want to create a space in your garden or on your land to attract more wildlife.

We believe protecting wildlife is extremely important and want to encourage more people to provide shelter and food for various animals.

We’ll be giving people 16 free young trees, to mark the year 2016, that can be used in a variety of ways including for hedging and small woodland areas, therefore improving the environment.

We do have a limited number available and are allocating them on a first come, first served basis, so we urge you to submit your requests as soon as possible.

You should write in to our Store Manager, Andrew Pitman, giving details of your project and why you think you deserve to receive a group of saplings.

If you’re successful you will be invited to come and collect your trees from us at a mutually convenient time. By entering the giveaway, you have agreed to take part in publicity.

Requests for the saplings should be posted to: Andrew Pitman, Store Manager, Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre, Monkton Heathfield, Taunton, TA2 8QN.

The closing date for requests is 5pm on Friday, February 19, 2016.
