Sakura Cherry trees in Black Park Country Park
In 2021, Sakura Cherry Trees were planted in Black Park Country Park, with the help of our practical conservation volunteers, as part of the Sakura Cherry Tree Project.
Five years on, with the start of spring, our Sakura Cherry Trees are now displaying beautiful cherry blossoms.
Sakura Cherry Tree Project was launched in 2017 to mark 150 years of Japan-UK friendship. The Sakura Cherry was chosen as it is the national flower of Japan.

Five years on, with the start of spring, the trees are now displaying beautiful cherry blossoms. You can see these trees adjacent to Emma Sallis play area in Black Park Country Park.
