Shoppers are being encouraged to go green on Black Friday by planting a tree – free of charge. More than 50 collection hubs have opened their doors across Wales as part of the Welsh Government tree giveaway.
While retailers get ready for one of the year’s busiest weekends ahead of Christmas as the prices of thousands of goods are slashed, an army of dedicated My Tree Our Forest volunteers are preparing to hand out some of the 295,000 trees available.
As well as sucking carbon from our atmosphere, improving our mental health and cleaning the air we breathe, broadleaf trees are a haven for birds and wildlife. Bethan Ellis and her four-year old daughter, Seren, took advantage of the tree giveaway.
