Friends of Carlisle Park in Richmond

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Joan Young

The Friends have been seeking ways to enhance the tree stock in Carlisle Park and thanks to the kindness of Gristwood and Toms [the Arboricultural Specialists contracted by the London Borough of Richmond] we have been given a number of Silver Birch Trees to complete a Birch grove within Carlisle Park. Although there are some further costs that we are seeking help for, this is a substantial gift to park goers and users for which we are exceptionally grateful.

Thank you Gristwood and Toms!
