GROWING COMPANY HELPS NATIONAL FOREST PUT DOWN NEW ROOTS

Rapidly expanding Technical & Executive recruitment company, Euro-Projects Recruitment Ltd. based in Bardon Hill Leicestershire are demonstrating their commitment to The National Forest by planting 10 native woodland trees at Poppy Wood, near Melbourne, on Friday 2 March. The tree species have all been selected to add to the biodiversity and wildlife-friendly habitats on the northern boundary of the Forest.

“We are really pleased to be supporting the expansion of the National Forest in the East Midlands, as it will provide a positive and lasting environmental legacy for generations to come.” Says Stephen Brown, Euro-Projects’ Founder and Managing Director.

Helping out with the planting will be Euro-Projects’ Director and keen amateur horticulturalist Ian Yoxen, who comments. “It’s great to be involved in supporting a project which gives something back to the environment and local community. This woodland will provide a natural local amenity for current and future residents and visitors. I’m ready with my boots and spade.”

The National Forest

The National Forest is a forest in the making spanning 200 square miles of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire. It is the boldest environmental initiative in the country: a project of landscape-scale transformation.

Nearly eight million trees have already been planted – with many more to go. In the region of 400 woodlands have been created, and older woodlands brought back into management.
