Clarets To Plant Over 2,000 Trees
EFDN member Burnley FC announced that over 2,000 trees are to be planted following the hugely successful launch of the ‘Evergreen’ initiative.
The club has purchased over 2,000 sapling trees, in line with the number of third kit shirts sold following the launch last summer. There is the capacity to plant 500 of the purchased trees at Burnley FC in the Community’s 22-acre Whitehough Outdoor Centre in Pendle. The remaining trees are available free of charge to supporters, local schools and community groups to collect and plant across the community.
Neil Hart, Chief Executive Officer of Burnley FC in the Community said: “We are delighted our ground-breaking Evergreen project caught the imagination of our supporters in such a positive way.
“As a result of their enthusiasm for the idea, thousands of new trees will be planted across our community.
“I’d urge fans to head down to Turf Moor on the designated collection dates to pick up a tree and play a part of this unique campaign for a greener Burnley.”
