Aden Contracting's First Company Tree Planting Day

Aden Contracting's First Tree Planting Day

Yesterday the 16th February was Aden's first company tree planting day with The Forest of Marston Vale. In September 2021 Aden became corporate friends with the charity and pledged to plant two hundred trees annually.

The Forest of Marston Vale is a Community Forest and a Charity, planting trees and using woodlands to make life better for the people and wildlife in the 61 square mile area of the Marston Vale, between Bedford and Milton Keynes. The Charity has planted over 2 million trees to transform the landscape and improve the prospects of the Marston Vale, because trees make life better – for people, for wildlife and for the planet. They help to cool and clean our air, lock up carbon, reduce flooding, provide sustainable raw materials, and are our best hope in combatting the climate crisis. The Charity’s ultimate goal is 30% tree cover across the Forest and that means planting another 5 million trees.

A team of us planted two hundred trees at the planting site near Houghton House, Ampthill. It was a beautiful morning and we were very lucky with the weather. A great time was had by all and we look forward to next year.
