The Wrexham University's Go Green Week 2024 is a collaborative effort to promote environmental sustainability. As part of this initiative, over 200 trees were planted at the Northop Campus with the support of volunteers on March 14.
Horticulture Wales, a project funded by SPF and supported by Flintshire County Council and Denbighshire County Council, was made possible by donating trees from the Woodland Trust.
This tree-planting initiative, which included a variety of species such as hazel, blackthorn, crab apple, elder, and more, aims to combat the decline of wildlife corridors. According to statistics from the Woodland Trust, since 1950, approximately 118,000 miles of hedgerow have vanished, posing a threat to biodiversity. By planting trees, Horticulture Wales strives to reverse this trend and create vital habitats for wildlife.
"We are thrilled to have been a part of Wrexham University's Go Green Week 2024," said Naeve Richardson, Project Development Officer of Horticulture Wales. "Together, we are making significant strides in environmental conservation and sustainability."
Horticulture Wales is committed to broadening wildlife corridors on Wrexham University's Northop campus and plans to plant more trees later in the year.
