(Don't worry about the fake, test entries. We'll delete them before we go pubilc!)

You are invited to our official launch event on Wednesday, May 13 at 10am at the Grosvenor entrance to Gibbons Park (near the Saturn Park). We'll be measuring one of the largest trees in the city, a willow near the river, and demonstrating how the contest works on our new website.

We hope for a big turnout of media and supporters.
 Volunteers Needed Tomorrow

Join us tomorrow, May 9 as we plant over 350 trees and shrubs in the Medway Valley.

Each tree planting events begins with a short training session on tree planting, so please arrive on time. Bring a shovel if you can, and wear sturdy shoes (no sandals) and sun protection. People of all ages and abilities are welcome.
