To mark the formation of the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, six trees have been planted, one for each of the six places that form our partnership: East Riding, Hull, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire and the Vale of York. The six native broadleaf trees are located in Whashton Wood near Richmond.
The trees were planted on the Integrated Care Board’s behalf by Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, a small charity that works to conserve and restore habitats, and the wildlife that they support. Some 4,000 trees will eventually be planted in Whashton Wood including Sessile Oak, Alder, Bird Cherry, Rowan, Scots Pine, Hornbeam and Aspen.
The planting of the trees marks a fundamental shift in how commissioning takes place across the NHS, and the legal formation of the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board. Additionally, the act aligns with our dedication and determination to offset our carbon footprint wherever possible.
A certificate has been issued by the charity to the Integrated Care Board.
