EETAB’s 30th Anniversary 30@30 Epsom and Ewell’s Notable Trees
EETAB was founded 30 years ago. To mark this anniversary, EETAB is aiming to identify 30 notable trees in the borough and to create a tree map/walk/cycle route based around them, ideally based around/linked to the Round the Borough Hike and Bike route – see www.epsom-ewell.gov.uk/RBHB.
We need your help to do this, by letting us know your favourite trees!
They need not be champion trees, just the best or favourite in that spot. Ideally we would like to add a story/pictures/other items about why the tree is of interest and matters to you. If there is a tree which you think should be recognised and others in the borough would be interested to know more about, please let us know at epsomandewelltab@gmail.com.
Ideally please include pictures and a story or explanation of why the tree is notable to you, and a “What-three-words” (W3W) reference for the location.
Here are some example nominations:
- w3w.co/tips.worked.perky – Catalpa bignonoides – Indian Bean tree, Rosebery Park. This was originally one of an identical pair, with another a bit closer to the playground. That one came down in a storm (possibly the Great Storm of 1987) – it was simply pushed over, uprooted.
It would be nice to try to get a new one planted to provide ‘succession’ as the remaining Indian Bean tree must be in its latter years. - w3w.co/loft.pizza.debate – Morus alba – White Mulberry, Mounthill Gardens.
Please send your ideas to epsomandewelltab@gmail.com or comment on our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/EpsomEwellTreeAdvisoryBoard. We look forward to receiving your suggestions!
