SCHOOLCHILDREN from Knaresborough are planting acorns at the town’s Jacob Smith Park.
About 50 pupils from St Mary’s, Meadowside, The Forest and St John’s primary schools are growing 300 acorns and will look after their fledgling oak trees once they are planted in the parkland at some time in the future.
They will also plant four semi-mature 12-foot oak trees at a celebration ceremony on February 18 and another 100 native trees provided by the council.
Richard Owen Hughes, chairman of the Friends of Jacob Smith Park, said the project would make sure the park continues to be known for its magnificent display of oak trees. To join in with the event email friends@jacobsmithpark.org.uk or simonbrock@btinternet.com
