The event has been organised by Lydford Parish Council and visitors will be able to collect between one and five free trees together with protection and a growing guide. The trees are all resident species, such as crab apple, wild cherry, rowan and birch and will be between two and three years old.
The tree hub takes place at the Nicholls Hall between 9am and 1pm.
The Saving Devon Treescapes project is being led by Devon Wildlife Trust which says: ‘Devon’s treescapes are stunning and crucial habitats for so much wildlife. But they are under threat from Ash Dieback which is estimated to kill at least 90% of Devon’s ash trees in the coming years. It will affect everyone, but everyone can be part of the solution.
‘We’re leading the fight on Ash Dieback on behalf of the Devon Ash Dieback Resilience Forum, and we are looking for Devon’s communities, landowners and businesses to get involved and help us to save Devon’s precious treescapes.’
