Parish walkers could boost Island's tree planting efforts

New 'Tree for a T' initiative launched

Parish Walk organisers have teamed up with the Isle of Man Woodland Trust for a new 'Tree for a T' initiative.

People registering for this year's event can forego the optional sports t-shirt included in the entry package.

Instead, a £5 donation will be given to the trust to plant a tree.

Raymond Cox is the race director:

This year's Parish Walk will take place on Saturday, 18 June.

People have until next Monday, 31 January to sign up at a discounted rate of £40 - that's reduced to £35 if they're a Manx Telecom customer.

After that it's £50, with entries closing on 8 May.
