His Royal Highness, the Duke of Gloucester, has officially opened a new swathe of woodland in Fulbourn that has been created as part of Cheffins’ 200-year anniversary
Planting a tree on the site, His Royal Highness was given a brief tour of the woodland and was introduced to Cheffins’ senior staff, with other attendees including Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire Julie Spence, Cambridge city mayor Dinah Pounds and CEO of Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust Shelly Thake. Located five miles from Cambridge city centre, the 2,500-tree woodland has been planted by Cheffins staff over five acres and is held on a 99-year lease. Made up of 12 different native deciduous trees and shrubs, the woodland represents the company’s commitment to biodiversity and carbon capture.
