Video: Over 2,000 Christmas trees collected by Trinity Hospice lined up in St Annes North Beach Car Park
Take a look as over 2,000 Christmas trees are collected by Trinity Hospice volunteers and lined up ready for the annual burial ceremony on St Annes beach.
Video shows some of the 2,070 used Christmas trees that are currently lined up in North Beach Car Park, after a weekend of collections across the Fylde Coast.
An army of 84 Trinity Hospice volunteers dropped the huge number of trees off, ready for them to be partly buried in the sand dunes as part of an ongoing project to build up coastal defence.
Over 500 volunteers have signed up to help over the three days of planting, to help improve sea defences in St Annes.
A spokesperson for Trinity Hospice said: ”That’s almost a wrap on this year’s EPIC Christmas Tree Collection… and what a year it’s been! Our biggest one yet. Over £37,000 raised! And it didn’t stop there… hundreds and hundreds of trees have been recycled, shredded into mulch for our allotments, and used to support the sea defences project at St Annes – making this collection even greener.
A huge thank you to everyone who booked a collection to support their local hospice. And an even bigger shout-out goes to our amazing volunteers – braving early mornings, freezing temperatures, and some seriously huge trees!
“If you believe we may have missed your tree, please email [email protected] by 5pm on Monday 12th January, and we’ll be in touch Thank you all for your incredible support – we truly couldn’t do this without you.”
