THE North Pennines AONB Partnership, as part of an initiative to celebrate 50 years of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales, has provided the Alston Moor Partnership with 50 trees to be planted as part of enhancement schemes at Fairhill and Garrigill recreation grounds.
The Pennine Pioneers and Garrigill Youth Club planted the trees on Garrigill Recreation Grounds.
The 50 trees at Alston and Garrigill are part of a wider initiative across the North Pennines to mark the 50th anniversary of the designation of the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) - the Gower in South Wales.
Chris Jones, area co-ordinator (west) for the North Pennines AONB Partnership, said: "We are delighted to have supported this community-led project on Alston Moor. The 50 trees the AONB Partnership has provided are symbolic of the 50th anniversary of the first AONB to be created in England and Wales."
