THE GIFT THAT GROWS TREE PLANTING IN SHEFFIELD The Gift that Grows project run by the South Yorkshire Forest Partnership (SYFP) has had a bumper month of tree planting in March with local residents, businesses and community groups all coming together to plant over 100 trees and add to Sheffield’s credentials for being the greenest city in Britain. The Gift that Grows scheme, which began in 1991, enables residents, community groups, local businesses and schools to donate trees to the
scheme and plant them across South Yorkshire. Last month, local marketing agency Diva Creative celebrated their 18th Birthday in style by sponsoring and planting 5 Magnolia Sprengeri ‘Diva’ trees at Sheffield’s Sheaf Valley Park. SYFP Team members also planted two large Rowan ‘Golden Wonder’ trees. Sheaf Valley Park is a newly reshaped green space for people living in the Park Hill area and city centre workers to visit and relax in. It has come a long way from
the initial proposals for the park back in 2005, which included an amphitheatre, improved and new footpaths and an arboretum all set within a green infrastructure network. A key aim for the award winning park was better connected green links for pedestrians and cyclists. These links include the route from the station up the Cholera Monument and beyond via the new Clay Wood link to Granville Road and Norfolk Park. The park is now
maintained by Sheffield City Council’s Parks service, very ably supported by the Friends of Sheaf Valley Park who arrange events and litter picks on site and in the surrounding area regularly. A ’City Arboretum’ was part of the initial plan and the planting that has taken place during March is playing its part in achieving that goal. The Gift that Grows also invited families who have sponsored trees over the years to a planting event which took place at Skye
Edge Greenspace from where there is a fantastic viewpoint over the city. With the support of Ed Thatcher a Community Forestor from Sheffield City Council’s Parks and Countryside Service they planted over 100 trees ranging from two varieties of Oak, Alder, Cherry, Hazel and Rowan. These newly planted trees will provide a new more wildlife friendly, attractive and sheltered area for members of the community and visitors to the city to enjoy.
