Rainbows, rangers and trees in Frome : Hundreds of saplings as part of a plant out

By Susie Watkins

6th Dec 2021 | Local News

An incredible 400 deciduous trees have been planted in Frome thanks to a working partnership of the Rainbows, Brownies and Guides.

As part of their "Take action" award, Rainbows helped plant out the trees as they working towards their Helper badge.

It is part of an initiative with Frome Council with trees supplied by the

Woodland Trust. The planting was on December 4. Meantime to round off National Tree Week 2021, there has been positive coverage of our announcement that visits to the UK's woodlands boosts mental health and is estimated to save £185 million in treatment costs annually, a landmark report published by Forest Research finds. Forestry Commission Chair, Sir William Worsley, said: This report demonstrates just how vital it is to invest in healthy trees and woodlands. It makes medical sense, because it will mean better health for all; economic sense, by saving society millions of pounds and it makes environmental sense, helping us to tackle the twin challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. "This National Tree Week, let's all step outside, enjoy trees in town and countryside and reap the benefits of being close to nature."
