A Holm oak was planted to commemorate a long standing member of the Committee and trees were planted in containers in the area of the Biggleswade Link, adjacent to the cinema in St George’s Place.

The recent KCC decision to fell trees in the Longport area due to disease initiated a number of discussions with local authority staff. The outcome was a commitment from KCC to replace them with mature American Pin Oaks in the autumn of 2007.

The roots of the OHDS were planted by a group of local residents who were concerned about the trees in the Shrubbery. Our Society has grown many branches since then but our concern for our trees still remains.
