In fact they enjoyed planting so much that Tom Barnes (MD of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vastern.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vastern Timber<\/a>) generously sponsored an additional two plots (50 trees), which were planted after lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Larsen Daw, project lead for the <a href=\"https:\/\/treecharter.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charter for Trees Woods and People<\/a> helped &#8216;Show the Love&#8217; for trees (see photo above).
