Broomfield Park Tree Project

Making Palmers Greener

We all understand the importance and value of our parks to the local and wider environment, for the health and well-being of our communities and in helping ameliorate the adverse effects of climate change . 

Many of the trees in Broomfield Park are reaching the end of their natural life or are subject to new pests and diseases as the climate changes. Working with the LBE Arbor Officer, our aim is to plant new trees to improve biodiversity and ensure that Broomfield Park maintains its place as a green haven for all the community for years to come. 

Want to Donate a tree? We have ended tree purchases for the current planting season, but we would still love you to donate. Let us know you are interested by Clicking Here to send us an email and we will contact you when our next planting season opens.

You can view a list of the trees planted this Winter and those to be planted in the Autumn by Clicking Here.
