The Green Effect Trust has been granted permission to lease more of Charlesworth Reserve in Bromley to increase the size of its Trees for Canterbury native tree nursery. The trust grows more than 150,000 plants a year, of which about 40,000 are donated for community planting projects. The board granted the trust permission to lease the extra space at Charlesworth Reserve. Trees for Canterbury Manager Steve Bush says the expansion of the nursery means a lot to the trust.
