The Director General of the tree Council, Pauline Buchanan-Black, came up from London to take part in the planting which was attended by local dignitaries and residents. Alongside the tree a time- capsule containing written appreciations of the Arboretum from children and adults was buried. Pupils and staff from Chuckery School gave a presentation regarding the importance in our lives of the park and its trees.
