The trees were taken to the University&#8217;s Streatham Campus and chipped by the Grounds Team. The chippings will be used as mulch for the shrub beds on our campuses.<\/p>\n<p>More than 2,000 Christmas trees were collected by 85 volunteers and chipped by the Grounds Team &#8211; raising over \u00a324,000 for Hospiscare.<\/p>\n<p>Laura Robertson, Fundraising Projects Manager at Hospiscare said: &#8220;This initiative simply wouldn&#8217;t be possible without the generous support from our local community and organisations like the University of Exeter donating their time and invaluable services. The money raised from our tree collection and recycling campaign will help us support more local patients and families living with terminal illness, who need us now more than ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dave Evans, Head of Grounds Operations at the University of Exeter said: &#8220;The University&#8217;s Grounds Team feel privileged to support Hospiscare once again through the Christmas tree recycling scheme. It&#8217;s been a fantastic effort by all involved and we&#8217;re proud to be able to provide for our community in Devon, at a time when it is needed most.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The partnership between the University of Exeter and Hospiscare is in its third year, and together, they have recycled over 4,500 trees with the scheme raising over \u00a355,000 for the charity since it began.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/01\/IMG_2645-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2703\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/01\/IMG_2645-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/01\/IMG_2645-scaled-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/01\/IMG_2645-scaled-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/01\/IMG_2645-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/01\/IMG_2645-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/01\/IMG_2645-scaled-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third year running, the University&#8217;s Grounds Team have teamed up with local charity Hospiscare to recycle Christmas trees and support terminally ill people [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,49,73,75,93,109,167,197,205,215,217],"tags":[471,517,531,593,801,1003,1437,1477,1589,1591],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tree-mendous news - over \u00a324,000 raised for local charity Hospsicare!
