Well Done Solihull Council

​SMBC have committed to planting 250,000 trees over the next 10 years through local engagement with schools, residents, businesses and community groups with added support from Solihull Tree Wardens.  The 'Planting Our Future' campaign will encourage residents to engage with tree planting projects, get involved in other green infrastructure projects across the borough and offer support to private land owners who wish to plant trees. 
 
 
 
The Love Solihull Team will also promote the numerous benefits trees provide (including increasing biodiversity, capturing carbon & reducing pollution levels).  There are some exciting projects planned for this year including the planting of a new woodland that will be dedicated in remembrance of those who have lost family or friends to Covid-19.

As part of this community wide initiative, you may have noticed the huge improvement to the recreational field off Arden Drive which was until recently overgrown with dense bracken, nettles and undergrowth which made it unpleasant if not impossible to enter and enjoy the field.  
 
DDRA complained to Solihull Council that this field was not fit for the “recreational purposes it was intended for” and requested it be improved. 

The Council has since cleared the bracken and dense undergrowth and planted young trees in the field making it a pleasant space to walk in. They have also built a fence and installed a new gate making the area so much more appealing.
