The Rotary Club of Melton Mowbray Belvoir has taken up the challenge with enthusiastic gusto and encourages other clubs to do the same.

The picture shows local Rotarian Mike Hind-Woodward of Whissendine donating 65 English oak trees that he has pot-grown over the last five to six years to Simon Bentley, the director of Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust.

The Trust planted them at their new three acre reserve at Lubenham near Market Harborough.
