Planting is just the beginning – why does tree care matter?
Tree care involves weeding and adding mulch around tree saplings. This is an essential part of trees’ early growth, and gives them the best chance to thrive as weeds compete with saplings for water, sunlight, and nutrients.
This initiative is part of our campaign to double tree cover in Merton.
This Event hosted Merton Friends of the Earth with the support from Merton Tree Wardens and in partnership with Friends of Morden Park.
