Green - Castle Park in Colchester ECO-FRIENDLY steps are continuing to be made to make Colchester a greener place to live. Colchester Council is planting trees across the area for the second year, as part of the Colchester Woodland and Biodiversity Project. This includes supplying many trees for parish and town councils to plant, and replacing trees lost in last year's exceptionally dry spring. In December, the council provided 1,460 whips to Stanway Parish Council, 180 whips to Wivenhoe Town Council and eight standard trees for West Mersea Town Council. This month 35 whips were supplied to Chappel Parish Council and 224 whips for Langham Parish Council.
