Covid Oak Tree Memorial

Ludlow Town Council Honours Covid-19 Victims with Oak Tree Planting at Sidney Road Green

Ludlow Town Council announces plans to commemorate the victims of the Covid-19 pandemic by planting an Oak Tree at the new Sidney Road Town Green. The tree not only serves as a poignant memorial but also celebrates the resilience and unity of the community during challenging times.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has left an indelible mark on communities worldwide. Ludlow Town Council hopes the oak tree will serve as a lasting tribute to those who have lost their lives and those affected by the pandemic in our community. We would like to invite the local community to join us in the tree planting ceremony on Friday, March 15th at 2pm, at the Sidney Road Town Green, Sheet Road”.

In addition to the tree planting, a permanent commemorative plaque will be installed at the base of the Oak Tree, a reminder of the lives lost and the community’s commitment to remembrance. The tree will be registered on the Royal Horticulture Society national map as part of the Roots to Remembrance project, to commemorate those affected by the pandemic.
