The Home and Garden Sub-Committee, with the approval of the Executive, and in conjunction with The Woodland Trust NI, is spearheading a project to fight climate change!
This will be carried out in two parts:
- All the Institutes will be asked to encourage and advise its members on how to reduce their carbon emissions – more of this later.
- Plant a Tree campaign
We are asking every member of WINI to plant a tree in their own, a friends or family’s garden, or failing that in a pot!
Look for space in your area for an Institute plantation/copse. Contact your local council, landowners, farmers, churches, schools, Road Service, etc. and tell them that you can supply saplings at 50p each.Christmas is coming up! Plant a sapling in a pot (crab apple and hazel will do well) and tie a ribbon around it – a perfect present!WI 90th celebration in 2022 – Find a spot where you can celebrate our 90th anniversary, leave a legacy for the future and strike a blow against climate change by planting saplings. Mark the copse with a plaque.Please view the Downloads section to find out more about this exciting initiative:
