Great Big Green Week | The Promise Tree
It's Great Big Green Week. What one thing will you do to look after our precious planet? Hang your pledge to nature on The Promise Tree and make it real.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Each year during Great Big Green Week, we ask visitors to Parke to hang their colourful promise to nature on the Promise Tree, and share it with everyone. We are left with a beautiful sight and a whole tree of uplifting intentions. What promise will you make to nature this year?
This year we will continue into a second week in line with Bovey Great Big Green Week that follows the national celebration.
