Balfour Beatty donates new trees
Tuesday 23rd February
As part of their work on the A46 project, civil engineering firm Balfour Beatty recently contacted Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust with an offer of 60 trees and saplings that had become available as part of the land acquisition process.
This generous gift has already made a difference, with Wildlife Trust volunteers recently planting some of these trees at Beacon Hill Conservation Park near Newark, owned and managed by the charity.
Rob Fitzsimons, Development Manager for the Wildlife Trust commented:
“It was great to have this offer of the trees from Balfour Beatty and we wasted no time in getting them in the ground to help us improve local reserves. We are hoping to explore other opportunities to work together on local environmental improvement projects whilst the A46 project is being delivered.”
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust is one of a number of voluntary organisations and parishes to benefit from Balfour Beatty’s tree donations.
