Guy Salmon Northampton Donate Trees To The Forest Of Marston Vale

Guy Salmon Jaguar Northampton In Partnership With The Forest Of Marston Vale - Protecting The Environment

Kevin Thornton, Sales Manager at Guy Salmon Northampton was delighted to hand over a cheque for £730 to Mike Hitchcock, Business Development Manager at The Forest Of Marston Vale. This money is the first donation in an ongoing partnership, enabling the Marston Vale to plant trees on behalf of the customers of Guy Salmon Northampton.

The Forest of Marston Vale is one of twelve Community Forests in England; all identified by Government in 1991 as national priority areas for environmentally led regeneration. In the Forest of Marston Vale the challenge is to use trees and woodlands to transform 61 square miles between Bedford and Milton Keynes, repairing a landscape scarred by decades of clay extraction, brickmaking and landfill. Around one million trees have already been planted and by 2031 a further five million will be planted.

Guy Salmon Northampton will be helping The Forest Of Marston Vale towards their target, by donating a tree for every new and used Jaguar they deliver. These native broadleaf trees, will be planted by the The Forest Of Marston Vale on behalf of the dealership during the planting season, which is between November & February each year.

The first public tree planting event at the Forest will be on the 30th November. If you would like to take part please telephone Samantha Harrison on 01604 239944 for further information.
