Today, I was delighted to join Surrey County Council Leader, Tim Oliver, and pupils at Cranmere Primary School in Esher to plant a cherry blossom tree as part of Surrey County Council’s commitment to plant 1.2 million new trees – one for every resident – by 2030.
As part of their contribution to tackling climate change, from 1st – 8th March, Surrey County Council are hosting Surrey Tree Planting Week, where they will be working with and supporting residents and partners in planting thousands of trees across the county.
This will play an important role in supporting Surrey’s ambition to reduce emissions and become carbon neutral; and it was a pleasure to be invited to plant a tree in Esher.
