Heal the world – take part in tree planting @ Forest of Marston Vale
Cranfield University students planting trees last year
The CSA and the walking society ‘Cranfield University’s Walks‘ have joined hands to promote a good cause. A public tree planting event in Forest of Marston Vale.

Plantation Timings: 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Date: 2nd December
NOTE: We would require you to register at the CSA office 1st floor, by Thursday evening, so that we get an estimate of the number of people for whom transport has to be arranged.
