A Tree has been planted in Scarborough as part of a county wide memorial to those lost during Covid-19 crisis
A tree has been planted in Scarborough as part of a county-wide tribute to those lost during the last three years to the Covid-19 pandemic and to those who have contributed so much to help other people.
It is one of eight trees being planted at locations across North Yorkshire to form a lasting memorial to all those who lost their lives, as well as thanking the communities which helped residents through the crisis.
The tree at Pollard Gardens retirement homes was planted by North Yorkshire County Council’s executive member for health and adult services, Cllr Michael Harrison.
He said:
“The Covid-19 pandemic had tragic consequences for many people in North Yorkshire and it is important that we remember that loss, while also recognising the efforts of many people who worked to keep people safe.
“This tree trail will provide a permanent living memorial where local residents will be able to reflect on their experiences, if they so wish, and also to act as reminder of the way our communities pulled together to help each other.”
More than 1,700 people have lost their lives linked to the Covid-19 pandemic in North Yorkshire, according to data from the Government.
The tree trail was the idea of North Yorkshire County Council’s public health manager, Emma Davies, who was actively involved in the county’s Covid-19 response. At each planting, representatives from public health, adult social care, the wider county and district and borough councils and the wider community have been invited to attend.
