Lincolnshire Housing Partnership (LHP) is pleased to announce that they have been successful in securing funding for 180 trees to be planted as part of The Conservation Volunteers ‘I Dig Trees’ programme and the South East Lincolnshire Orchard Tree Scheme.
Libby Kerman, Sustainability Manager at LHP said: “We believe that it is our responsibility as a major housing provider to deliver great homes and strong communities, and this includes considering sustainability across everything we do. Increasing the biodiversity of our green spaces not only creates havens for local wildlife, but also enhances our nearby nature for customer wellbeing.”
The trees are planned to be planted in early 2024, and LHP is searching for volunteers to help with the planting. Further information about the project will be available on their website, www.lincolnshirehp.com, in the coming weeks.
Libby added: “We are excited to be part of this project and to help make Lincolnshire a greener and more sustainable place to live.”
The Conservation Volunteers ‘I Dig Trees’ programme is the UK’s largest community tree planting project, aiming to plant millions of trees to protect the climate, wildlife and communities. You can learn more about their ambition on their website and by watching their video.
Planting is set to commence in February 2024.
