The Millenium Avenue
at Cockle Pond Meadow
On Saturday 4th March 2000
Peter Hall invited all of the organisations in the parish to each freely adopt one of the
Red Twigged Lime trees in the Millenium Avenue he has created in Cockle Pond Meadow, by
Plain Road. The Avenue was planted using prize money that Peter had been given from
winning an Environmental Award sponsored by Marks and Spencer .
There are a total of fifty
five trees in the avenue, each numbered - eventually there will be a plaque with the
adoptive organisation's name. Not all the trees have been adopted, because Peter is aware
of the evolving nature of the village and wants to keep some in reserve for adoption by
organisations that do not yet even exist.
Once again we are indebted to
Peter for giving Marden, and farming in general, a well needed boost, in difficult times
for the agricultural industry. Thanks again Peter.
