As a result of programme changes along the whole line of HS2, HS2 and their contractor Balfour Beatty Vinci, a surplus of different species and quantities of tree saplings are available to communities. These have become available as the nurseries who grow the saplings do so based on an estimate demand for what will be needed in 3 years. The estimation is now different from 3 years ago meaning there is a surplus.
Requirements, including species and quantities will need to be made by the end of February with a delivery address and contact details. It is anticipated that delivery will be during March and this can be done by contacting communityinvestment@balfourbeattyvinci.com.
Groups will need to complete this Excel spreadsheet which details the types of saplings available.
