In the autumn of 1996, some 250 trees were planted in several areas on Harberton Playing Field. This planting was a requirement of planning conditions associated with the building of the new Parish Hall in Harberton. To help finance the planting and bring about an awareness of the benefits afforded us by trees, Harberton Playing Field Association organised a tree sponsorship scheme. People were invited to give £1.50 to cover the cost of a tree, including stake, guard and maintenance costs for several years.
This scheme raised over £300, thanks to the generosity and goodwill of the following contributors:
