A new Weeping Beech tree is set to be planted today (Thursday) in Newport’s Church Litten Park.
The new Weeping Beech is approximately 4m in height with a trunk girth of approximately 21cm and will be protected with a sturdy tree enclosure as it settling into its new home.
It will be planted as close as possible to the site of where the old tree was located.
To mark this significant event, a gathering will be held later in the Spring to welcome the new tree.
Community members are warmly invited to attend and participate in this occasion, which will be advertised nearer the time.
Islanders can still submit their stories and memories of the Weeping Beech to regeneration@iow.gov.uk, which will be used to create a digital memorial.
