The first of thousands of trees to be established in communities across central and southern Scotland through an innovative partnership between The Tree Council and SP Energy Networks have been planted during National Tree Week.

The partnership, announced earlier this year, kicked off with a volunteer planting day at Fernieside Recreation Ground in Edinburgh hosted by The Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust (ELGT), a charity dedicated to enhancing greenspaces across Edinburgh and the Lothians, for the benefit of people, wildlife, landscape, and heritage.

Sara Lom, The Tree Council CEO, said: “We are thrilled to partner with SP Energy Networks to do something truly wonderful for nature and for local communities.
