Trees Go Wild for Charity and Safari Animals
6 Jan
Summary
- Recycled Christmas trees will benefit a children's cancer charity and safari park.
- Trees are collected from January 10-13 for voluntary donations.
- The initiative aims to fund vital research and support children with cancer.
Christmas trees are being given a new purpose, supporting both a children's cancer charity and a local safari park. The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust is collecting trees in the Herefordshire and Worcestershire area from January 10 to 13 as part of a voluntary donation drive. This initiative aims to raise crucial funds for the charity.
The collected trees will be recycled and chipped into mulch. A portion of this mulch will be used to enhance pathways and provide enrichment within the enclosures at West Midlands Safari Park. This partnership offers a sustainable solution for post-holiday trees while benefiting wildlife.
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust, established in memory of four-year-old Grace Elizabeth Kelly, focuses on improving early diagnosis and treatment for childhood cancer. Organizers are optimistic about exceeding last year's record, which saw over 600 trees recycled and more than £12,000 raised.
