Trees of Time and place is a national scheme which has been running for two years to get more trees planted by the public. It aims to break the record for tree planting in November during National Tree Week.  Five hundred planting sites have already been designated but none in the Highlands. Now area committees of Highland council are being asked to identify sites where people can plant trees.
