Volunteers from Newcastle firm British Engines have planted 100 trees at a National Trust site to commemorate the company’s centenary.
Volunteers from group companies, Bel Valves, CMP Products, Michell Bearings and Rotary Power planted 100 trees at the Wallington site in Northumberland as part of the wider Wilder Wallington, which aims to plant one million trees by 2030, as well as reintroduce native species and improve peatlands and waterways.
Richard Dodd, CEO of the British Engines Group, said: “The National Trust is the biggest conservation charity in Europe and we’re delighted to be marking this anniversary with an initiative that will benefit the local community that we have been a part of for one hundred years, and hopefully many more years to come.
