Wordless Wednesday: The Importance of Ivy as a Food Source

Calne Tree of the Year 2022

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫!

We know that trees are essential to our health and well-being and can be beautiful and interesting as in the case of the Indian Bean trees planted in Calne town centre to celebrate Twinning.

Nominate your favourite tree or group of trees in Calne for the Tree of the Year competition and be in with the chance winning a prize - including a tree planted in one of Calne’s public spaces.

Your chosen tree can be growing anywhere – a street, park, or garden but must be visible to the public. It can be old or young, large or small, and to nominate it you don’t need to know the species.

Calne Town Council’s Amenities, Conservation and Sustainability Manager will inspect all nominations and the winner will be decided by the Calne in Bloom Working Group judges.

The aim of this special competition is to help people take more notice of their environment with special emphasis on trees.
