Plant A Tree In '73
Plant A Tree In '73 was a Government-sponsored national campaign in the United Kingdom, aimed at encouraging the population to participate by planting trees during the 1973 'National Tree Planting Year'. At the time a new, virulent strain of Dutch Elm Disease was sweeping the country, killing millions of trees.
==The campaign==
The campaign was instigated by Member of Parliament Sydney Chapman. He formally proposed the idea in a parliamentary question to Peter Walker, the Secretary of State for the Environment on 28 July 1971,〔(HC Deb 24 November 1971 vol 826 cc1315-6 ), Hansard, accessed 2010-10-04 〕 who announced his backing on 1 March 1972.〔(HC Deb 1 March 1972 vol 832 cc400-1 ), Hansard, accessed 2010-10-04 〕 As a result, a committee was set up to run the campaign, chaired by Lord Sandford.〔(HC Deb 8 May 1972 vol 836 c272W ), Hansard, accessed 2010-10-04 〕
Many organisations, including local authorities, youth organisations, schools, businesses and communities supported the campaign by planting or donating trees, or making land available. The Forestry Commission donated some 90,000 trees to schools and a further 70,000 for joint projects with local authorities,〔(Oral Answers to Questions — Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, House of Commons debates, 20 December 1973 ) They Work for You, accessed 2010-10-04 〕 as did other organisations including the Crown Estate Commissioners.〔(The restoration of the Formal Garden at Hestercombe 1973 to 1980 Part 4 ), Parks & Gardens UK, accessed 2010-10-04 〕 The Royal Mail also marked the campaign by issuing a 9p commemorative stamp, first issued on 28 February 1973.
