Bakery branches out to help Teesdale tree planters

A TREE planting group have become far more mobile thanks to a bakery chain.
Trees for Teesdale was formed about a year ago to replace old trees and plant new ones in the area but volunteers have struggled to transport materials such as stock proof fencing and other kit.
Now thanks to a £1,000 grant from the Greggs Foundation, the group has been able to buy a new trailer.
Trees for Teesdale founding member Allan Rayner said: “About half the money is for the trailer, the rest we will use to stock fencing and tools.”
The group have many trees available for planting. Anyone who would like trees can visit the website treesforteesdale.org.uk.
