National Tree Week (26 November - 7 December 2008) is an annual festival to mark the start of the tree planting season, and a nationwide celebration of trees and woods. Across the Borough there will be lots of opportunities to plant trees. To celebrate National Tree Week, Carrickfergus Borough Council is inviting everyone to help make trees matter by planting and celebrating trees in National Tree Week. We would like to hear from any group or individual that would like to take part in National Tree Week. Residents and groups who cannot take part in National Tree Week but would like to plant a tree in their own property can download an application or contact Carrickfergus Museum & Civic Centre. To keep in touch with all Carrickfergus in Bloom activities, join our mailing list. Help promote Tree Week in your community by downloading the Carrickfergus Tree Week poster.

Attention all Scout's As part of the Scout's centenary celebrations, the Woodland Trust and the Scout Association have formed a partnership to provide members of the Scout movement with a number of opportunities to learn about, and engage in, woodland conservation. Over the next few years, the Woodland Trust, the UK's leading woodland conservation charity, will offer a series of activities and events for packs. This initiative is part of the Trust's Tree For All campaign, which aims to involve one million children in planting 12 million trees. In 2007 the Woodland Trust would like to offer all Scouts the chance to plant trees as part of the centenary celebrations. More info. Top Tips for Tree Week
