Leading members of Plymouth’s construction industry have launched a fundraising campaign to build the ‘Mayflower Forest’ as part of their community engagement efforts towards a lasting legacy for Mayflower400.

The Road to Mayflower team plan to deliver a new landscape design to revitalise Marsh Mills Roundabout as a green gateway transforming the visitors’ arrival experience as well as delivering significant environmental benefits.

The volunteering design team led by AECOM, AWW and YGS Landscapes plan to plant over 1,000 trees creating the Mayflower Forest of silver birch trees and using local stone to create an artistic dry river bed.
