Hide AdCoun Catherine Seymour, Berwick North, explained: "I’ve been working with officers on planting trees on county land to complement our Climate Change Action Plan.
“The first phase of planting five large trees has taken place on North Road opposite Morrisons at the entrance into our town.
“This is the first area to be done and we have identified other areas for possible planting to include an additional row of trees and a potential orchard close by.
“I’ve also been in discussions with a volunteer group who want to plant trees in Berwick on county land and have been given permission to do so.”
