The Great Western Community Forest team and the Woodland Trust are organising a big tree plant to launch the 21st Century on Sunday 5 December, 10.30am to 3.30pm at the Large Pry, near Purton, outside Swindon.

This will be a fun family day out where you can dedicate a tree and contribute an item to a time capsule to be buried on site. You don't need experience, the trees are free and experts will be on hand with advice. All you need is wellies and a spade.

There will be live music, face painting, children's workshops and exhibitions about the community forest, the Woodland Trust and the work of local environmental groups.

To get there follow the signs to Purton, or use the free park and ride from Hillmead Industrial Estate on Mead Way, West Swindon. Buses will run from 9.30am.
