Many thanks to Woodland Trust from Friends of Mountsfield Park for donating UK native trees to be planted at Mountsfield Park.
They will:

• make Mountsfield Park more beautiful,
• provide excellent additional native species habitat for wildlife,
• make the park greener around the edges, so that visitors to the park are less aware of the buildings and roads that surround the park,
• make the ground more permeable to reduce the accumulation of surface water during heavy rainfall,
• absorb carbon, some pollutants and dust from the air,
• establishing new native tree planting to mitigate ash die-back disease.
