On Saturday 21 November we planted our Cox orange pippin tree in the grounds of the Unitarian church, Ullet Road Liverpool.
This tree will be twinned with one of the trees planted on 13 November at Airplot , the piece of land bought by Greenpeace in the village of Sipson.
Over 40 people, including the Deputy Leader of Liverpool City Council , Councillor Flo Clucas , and Ward Councillors Jan and Paul Clein showed their support for the villagers of Sipson and their concerns about climate change by attending the planting.
The tree was planted by two children from the congregation James and Yasmine watched by the Councillors and the other people who had braved the rain to attend this event. After the planting we retired to the church hall, out of the rain, where we had refreshments available including apple cakes of course !!
Councillor Flo Clucas and Ward Councillors Paul and Jan Clein along with 18 other people showed their support for the Airpolt campaign by signing up as beneficial owners of the Sipson plot on the day.
We are very grateful to the Church and Angela Howard in particular for allowing us to plant our tree in their grounds and for the hospitality shown to us on the day of the planting.
Our unsung hero is Dave Bacon, who worked hard to clear the area for the tree planting and worked tirelessly on the day to ensure that everything went smoothly – thank you Dave.
