Tree Warden, Gloria Dixon, was named Environmental Volunteer of the Year
at the annual Inspiring Volunteering Awards evening in the Levinsky building at Drake Circus on 2nd June. She received the engraved glass plate for her work leading the School Trees Programme. This helps governors, teachers and parents improve their school grounds by planting more trees and hedges.
Gloria said the award reflected the tremendous efforts by many others with a shared ambition to make school grounds more park-like and stimulate children’s interest in the natural world. She said that Plymouth Tree Partnership had worked with eight schools over the last year and plans to take on more projects in the coming months.
