Matt from Tates Treework will be on hand to chip your Christmas trees on Saturday 7th January at the Village Green and The Crescent
Please take your tree to The Green near to the pump before 2pm on Saturday or to the island area at the entrance to The Crescent before 2.45pm for this free chipping service. The enviro.volunteers will be on hand to assist.
The chippings will be put to good use in our open spaces such as the Copse and Coppice
If you would like your own chippings to take away, please bring a suitable bag
But remember:
- Typically one Christmas tree will produce only a carrier bag of chippings
- Fresh chippings are not suitable for mulch as the sap will burn plants, especially young ones or emerging bulb foliage.
- Conifer chippings are particularly noxious
- Please no decorations or metal
Would it be possible to do the opposite: bring an empty bag and take away a chipped tree?
Nick,
