Summer fete celebrates National Trust anniversary

A series of events are taking place to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the National Trust for Jersey.

The trust began with a small group of islanders who came together to protect a wooded côtil in Vallée des Vaux in 1936.

It has since grown to become one of the island's leading heritage and environmental organisations.

One of the main events is a free summer fete held at the former seaside cafe at Grève de Lecq between 10:00 to 16:00 BST.

It will feature music, vintage games, local stalls, food, drink, beach activities for all ages and an exhibition showcasing the work of the trust, organisers said.

Visitors to Howard David Park will see a floral display featuring the trust's elm leaf emblem, while 90 trees have been planted at The Elms in St Mary.

A series of free musical evenings are also taking place at Grève de Lecq until Monday.

Sophie Gorman, from National Trust Jersey, said: "This special anniversary is about celebrating people as much as places.

"For 90 years, our members, volunteers, supporters and partners have helped us to protect this beautiful Island we all love.

"This is an opportunity for us to say thank you, and we hope everyone will join us in celebrating this incredible milestone this summer."
