    An avenue of apple and maple trees will be planted on Harrogate's Stray this month.

    They will be among 800 trees planted by Harrogate Borough Council as part of National Tree Week.

    The council will also be planting native trees, including oak, lime and sycamore, at Hay a Park in Knaresborough and at Paddies Park and Gallows Hill in Ripon.


    About 500 of the trees have been nurtured at the council’s Harlow Hill nursery.


    National Tree Week, which begins on November 26, is the UK’s largest annual tree celebration.


    Councillor Sam Gibbs, the council’s cabinet member for environment, waste reduction and recycling, said:



    "Planting more trees is a priority for us and this project supports a number of schemes – the White Rose Forest, for example – that will help address the climate situation and deliver carbon reduction initiatives throughout the Harrogate district.
    "We couldn’t do it without the help of volunteers so I’d like to thank everyone who has either provided a sapling or will be planting a tree."


    More information about National Tree Week is available on the Tree Council website.
