Roots of Responsibility
Our Christmas Tree at Margam Country Park Christmas Tree Festival represents the species loss we have experienced in the UK between 1970 and the present day. As you ascend the tree, the fading away of green represents the 65% decline in priority species we have suffered. The tree is a powerful reminder of the nature emergency we face. However, all is not lost. Through its design, it calls on everyone to reflect on their role in protecting the planet. We ask you to take immediate action to preserve our natural world for future generations. In this way, we can help the tree turn green once again.
