Oswestry Town Council is giving away 600 trees to residents to plant in their gardens to help tackle the climate crisis.
The Big Tree Giveaway is part of the council’s wider campaign to tackle climate change.
Since 2021, households, community groups, schools and colleges have planted over 17,000 trees provided by the council – one for every person in town.
Mayor of Oswestry cllr Rosie Radford said: “These trees are fighting climate change by locking up carbon. They’re also wildlife heaven for birds, bees and butterflies, and they look beautiful too. Please help us make more of a difference by picking up your free tree.”
Native varieties on offer include cherry, crab apple, field maple, hazel and silver birch.
Trees will be available to pick up from Bailey Head on Saturday 22 November and Wednesday 26 November between 10am and 2pm, on a first come, first served basis.
