Cllr Ellis added: “We are very fortunate to have the
Woodland Trust headquarters based in Grantham.
“Oak Trees are undoubtedly England's most iconic trees.
A single tree can live up to 1,000 years and support more
biodiversity than any other British plant.
“Trees are a vital component of our world as they cool the
air and stabilise soils and it is our aim to plant more trees
in Grantham as part of our Climate Action plan. In the
meantime, we hope that you will vote for our very lovely
local oak tree.”
People who love the tree have left these reviews with the
Woodland Trust:
“An absolutely gorgeous tree which you simply can't fail
to notice. My little girl calls it the 'fat and wrinkly' tree.”
“Driving past this tree recently, it was lovely to see a
gentleman there with his hand on the tree's 'belly' showing
it to his young child in a pushchair.”
This year’s contest is set to inspire people about ancient
urban trees and talk about the value of urban trees to
communities and wildlife. The winning tree will go on to
be in the ‘European Tree of the Year’ competition.
