Three Isle of Wight parks are benefitting from trees planted by volunteers - as part of a collaboration between local organisation Planet Aware and the Isle of Wight Council.
Young people from Network Ryde, 1st East Cowes Scouts, 4th Shanklin Brownies and St Blasius Primary School, as well as adult volunteers helped to plant over 400 hundred native trees donated by the Woodland Trust in Puckpool Park and Appley Park in Ryde, and at Big Mead in Shanklin.
