Northumberland County Council is again inviting residents to order a free tree to plant on their property. There are species available that are suitable for small, medium or large gardens, or for planters. The trees are small cell-grown plants, UK-sourced, and come complete with a biodegradable shelter guard, cane, and detailed planting and after-care instructions. You can order your sapling, and book a date to collect it, using the Free Tree Booking Form on the Northumberland County Council website.

Rogation Sunday
Our three local churches – St Cuthbert’s in Carham, St Helen’s in Cornhill on Tweed, and St Paul’s in Branxton – are holding a joint service on Sunday 29 May at West Learmouth Farm. The open-air service, marking Rogation Sunday, will include a blessing of the trees that have been planted by Carham Parish Council as a contribution to The Queen’s Green Canopy – a UK-wide tree-planting initiative created to commemorate the jubilee. The trees have been planted where the public footpath meets the byway at the old West Learmouth railway sidings, courtesy of Mrs Moore of West Learmouth Farm. The Rogation Sunday service is at 11.00 am and everyone is welcome to attend. Please wear stout footwear, as it may be muddy underfoot. For more information, call Pat Feerick on 01890 254 794.
