A major green milestone has been reached at Linmere as, spade in hand, Alex Mayer MP planted the 2,000th new tree at the growing community. The ceremonial planting took place on Phase Four of the Linmere development, featuring a Tilia cordata tree, commonly known as a small-leaved lime tree, chosen to reflect the origins of Linmere; the name Linmere comes from ‘Linmear’ which appears on a 1762 map of the area and means field of lime trees. The species will be one of 24 varieties, making up 890 trees on Phase Four alone, reflecting Linmere’s emphasis on biodiversity and generous, high-quality, green infrastructure.
