We are planting an understory of trees on Horseshoe Walk, Great Holm to enhance biodiversity and to create a wildlife corridor

*Note, if you wish to book more than 4 tickets, please contact us first.*

We are Community Trees MK and we are planting trees across the city of MK with the help of the people of MK.

We are partnering with MK City Council, Loughton & Great Holm Parish Council and The International Tree Foundation to plant trees with the community at this green space known as Horseshoe Walk on Great Holm. Our work here will add to an existing green space, planting smaller trees amongst an existing area of trees which has been thinned to help to create a biodiverse wildlife corridor.

To plant trees with us you need to book places in advance.
