Bottesford Tree Charter
The Parish Council has adopted a Tree Charter for the whole parish with the objectives / targets of making the Parish one of the most treed in the Midlands and in improving the health of the residents of Bottesford.
We have teamed up with the Woodland Trust, the Tree Council, Leicestershire County Council and Melton Borough Council to achieve our target. The Parish Council would welcome interest and commitment from residents, businesses, schools and other community organisations.
The Tree Charter is a legacy defining programme for the future of our parish.
