EPPING Forest District Council (EFDC) joined Roydon Pre-School on Thursday 2 December 2021, in planting a new tree at Parkfields in Roydon.

Children, parents, and staff from the pre-school gathered in the cold and windy weather to plant a new cherry tree.

With the help from EFDC staff, staff from Gristwood and Toms and Rev. Richard Attew from St Peter-ad-Vincula Church the children learnt about how to care for the tree and the important part trees play to our environment.

The tree was donated by the Woodland Trust and the St Peter-ad-Vincula Church.
