Tree Saplings Available

Balfour Beatty Vinci are giving away surplus tree saplings. Anyone interested should email the contractors at communityinvestment@balfourbeattyvinci.com
BBV are able to offer out a number of different species of saplings to your community group for planting by the end of March.
These are available as the nurseries who grew the sapling do so based on an estimate demand for what will be needed in three years time. They will also allow for a natural wastage. As a result of programme changes along the whole line of HS2 this means that what is needed at this time is different to what was estimated over three years ago. This has created a surplus that can be made available to communities.
BBV would need to have details of your requirements by the end of February to enable them to organise delivery during March.
If interested, please let them know species and quantities and provide a delivery address and contact details who can take receipt of delivery
