A major tree-planting project is taking place at Ilfracombe’s Tesco store to improve the wildlife habitat and screen the building’s rooftops.
The store will have a total of 2,100 native trees planted to the south of its site in an area of land stretching to the Old Barnstaple Road.
Existing scrub will be retained for its habitat value, with the tree-planting and subsequent establishment of woodland strengthening the existing habitat.
