York Rotarians hosted a community picnic on the site where in 2019  over a thousand trees were planted by the York Rotary Family Tree Planting Partnership to commemorate babies born in York that year.

On Sunday over 130 families and friends of some of these babies met on the site and were all very satisfied to see how well the trees had flourished during the lockdown. So much so that thirty families volunteered to adopt and name  an individual specimen for their own baby and promised , over the coming months , to give some tender loving care to their tree.
