Ancient Tree Hunt
The Woodland Trust are inviting us to search out and record the country’s
oldest trees – there are plenty of large trees in and around Harrow which
you may walk or drive past every day and just take for granted.
The Woodland Trust has been able to come out and verify some 5000 so far and out
of this 5000 a whopping 581 are truly ancient. They want to make June/July this
year, official ancient tree hunting season so join the National Tree Hunt and get
involved in saving Britain’s oldest living treasures.

Harrow Biodiversity
Harrow Council has published a Draft Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) setting out a framework
for the protection, conservation and enhancement of wildlife within Harrow. The
Harrow BAP is a culmination of work by various members of the Harrow Biodiversity
Partnership, of which Harrow in LEAF is a member.
If you're interested in wildlife and conservation, it is worth a read to see how
this is going to be implemented and how Harrow in LEAF are involved. It is 3.3MBs
though, so it might take a while.

Thank You Harrow Rose
We would like to thank the Harrow Horticultural and Rose Society for giving us their
tables.
Every year Harrow in LEAF hired tables at considerable cost until a few years
ago, when the Harrow Rose society was kind enough to loan us their tables for free,
saving us a vast amount and making our annual show possible. It is with great sadness
that, this year, Harrow Rose announced that it is to come to an end after some 100
years.
|
Upon closing down, it was decided that they would give their tables to Harrow in
LEAF, who can make them available for use by our affiliated members. This gift by
the Harrow Rose is one that will always be remembered by all at Harrow in LEAF.
