TREE OF TREES AWARD " UPDATE "

The Tree of Trees sculpture that was built and sited outside Buckingham Palace and was designed and created by the HEATHERWICK STUDIOS to celebrate the PLATINUM JUBILEE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH 11 is to be taken apart, and the 350 trees are being presented to 350 groups across the United Kingdom who have been selected because of the tremendous voluntary work they do in their communities.

We are delighted to announce that THE BRIDGERS COMMUNITY GROUP has been selected as one of the groups who have done outstanding work for their community.

The tree will be planted on Colliers Corner following a nationwide presentation of the trees on October 14th.

AN AMAZING HONOUR FOR HOWE BRIDGE AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
