Volunteers from Imperial Tobacco's Radom site gave up their Saturday to plant trees and shrubs in a community forest as part of the Polish factory's "We Can Help" programme.

A group of more than 40 employees and their families took part in the event in the Marcule Forest near Radom. Saplings were donated by Imperial in support of the "SOS for Earth" campaign.

Around 50 trees and shrubs were planted in the arboretum area as part of new botanical woodland created by local forestry workers.

Previous conservation initiatives in which employees have been involved include feeding animals in the forest and planting trees in a city park.

Factory Manager, Katarzyna Wolińska, said: "As with other 'We Can Help' projects our aim is to support the community in which we operate.

"I'm especially pleased that we carried out another project that was initiated by our employees wanting to give something back to society." Enditem
