Filey Football Ground to Benefit from Free Trees

Scarborough Athletic FC and Filey Community Sports Club have received a donation of 420 tree saplings from the Woodland Trust.

The trees will be planted at the Filey Community Sports Club site, home of the Scarborough Athletic FC Academy, to provide shelter from the North Sea winds and help with drainage.

Scarborough Athletic say they are now looking for groups of volunteers who may be interested in helping to plant some of the 420 saplings, which have been generously funded by lead partners such as Sainsbury's, People's Postcode Lottery, Lloyds Bank, Joules and Bank of Scotland.

Football Development Director, Paul Exley said

"We are excited to get these saplings planted around the pitches at Filey Community Sports Club, which will compliment the substantial pitch works we have started to undertake during this summer and over the next five years, improving soil quality and drainage".

"The tree saplings will support us in the drainage and also sheltering games from severe winds in the future, benefitting the users of the facility at our base at Filey Community Sports Club".

The Woodland Trust says it is keen to provide local communities the opportunity to get green-fingered and plant more trees and woodland to provide cleaner air, healthier and happier communities for the people and wildlife who share the communities.

Anyone interested in helping plant some of the tree saplings can contact Paul Exley at paul.exley@scarboroughathletic.com.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
