Lions clubs worldwide have this year been challenged to plant a million trees by their international president, Wing-Kun Tam, to demonstrate the strength of their global network.

This target has in fact been exceeded almost ten-fold, with more than 4,000 of these having been planted by Lions in the South West alone.

As part of this commitment Okehampton and District Lions Club planted 15 holly trees at North Tawton Primary School, ably assisted by pupils.

Lions Club members Mick Jones, Ian Snell and Dave Parish are pictured with the pupils.
