THORNER TREES GROUP 

Thorner Trees Group was founded in late 2019 by a group of Thorner residents interested in planting trees, shrubs and wildflowers for the public benefit and enjoyment, and to help counteract climate change, enhance our health, wellbeing and diversity of wildlife. We became registered with the Charity Commission in November 2020, as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Association model.
