Feltham Town Partnership News

Goodbye to the Feltham Green Island Willow Tree

On the Feltham Green island, there are currently two willow trees, one of which has become hollow and is leaning dangerously toward the water. This poses a significant risk, as its eventual collapse could damage the retaining wall and potentially destroy the island itself, a man‑made structure dating back to 1865. To prevent further deterioration, the diseased tree will be removed THIS WEEK. It will be replaced with two young willow trees. Brambles have already been cleared; new shrubs will be planted to stabilise and enhance the area and duck ladders will be installed to support local wildlife. A windmill artwork is also awaiting installation as part of the island’s revitalisation.

Friends of Feltham Green

1.        Freddie Mercury would have turned 80 this year (5th September 1946). The Friends of Feltham Green are currently finalising their plans to celebrate. If anyone locally is planning a celebration, the Friends of Feltham Green would be happy to help promote your event. Just let them know what you are planning by emailing felthamgreen@outlook.com

2.        Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday 4th April at Feltham Green. Details on the fun day will be publicised on their Facebook page soon.
