Cinema legend is urging people to recycle their cards with the Woodland Trust
Film legend Dame Judi Dench is urging Welsh people to recycle their Christmas cards with the Woodland Trust and then choose where in their area they would like trees funded by the scheme to be planted.
The Oscar winning actress is asking Welsh people to support the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity by recycling their Christmas cards in special bins at WHSmith (1), TK Maxx (2) and Marks & Spencer3, throughout January
After recycling your cards, simply log onto www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/cards and choose which UK region you would like the Woodland Trust to plant trees in, with funding provided by the retail partners.
Dame Judi Dench said: “We all enjoy giving and receiving Christmas cards, well thanks to the Woodland Trust there is the chance for a second giving and receiving opportunity this year. I would like to challenge people in Wales to give to the environment, recycle their cards and then receive trees for their environment by going to www.woodlandtrust.org/cards and choosing where the new trees generated by this year’s recycling should be planted!”
Across the UK since the Woodland Trust started its Christmas Card Recycling Scheme, a total of 659m cards have been recycled - 59m last year alone, which funded the planting of 14,000 trees.
In the 12 years of the project, 13,080 tonnes of cards have been collected, allowing the Trust to plant 155,000 trees
Rory Francis, from the Woodland Trust said: “Each year we value the wonderful support from everyone who recycles their Christmas cards with the Trust, which makes a huge difference to our work! This is why we want to say a big thank you this year by giving people the opportunity to choose where their trees are planted.”

Y Foneddiges Judi Dench yn gofyn i Gymru ailgylchu'r Nadolig yma
Seren y sinema yn annog pobl i ailgylchu eu cardiau Nadolig gyda Coed Cadw
Mae’r Foneddiges Judi Dench, seren y sinema, yn annog Cymry i ailgylchu eu cardiau Nadolig gyda Coed Cadw, ac i ddewis lle yn y wlad maen nhw am i’r coed sy’n cael eu hariannu gan y cynllun i gael eu plannu.
Mae’r actores, sydd wedi ennill Oscar, yn gofyn i Gymry gefnogi prif elusen gwarchod coetir y DU a hynny trwy ailgylchu eu cardiau Nadolig mewn biniau arbennig yn siopau WHSmith (1), TK Maxx (2) a Marks & Spencer (3), trwy gydol mis Ionawr.
Ar ôl ailgylchu’ch cardiau, ewch at wefan:
www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/cards a dewiswch ym mha ranbarth o’r DU rydych chi am i Goed Cadw blannu coed, gydag arian a ddarperir gan y siopau sy’n cymryd rhan.
Dywed y Foneddiges Judi Dench: “Rydyn ni i gyd yn mwynhau rhoi a derbyn cardiau Nadolig. Yn awr, diolch i Goed Cadw, mae modd eu rhoi nhw unwaith eto. Dwi eisiau herio pobl Cymru i roi anrheg i’r amgylchedd trwy ailgylchu eu cardiau ac wedyn derbyn coed i’w hamgylchedd lleol trwy fynd at wefan www.woodlandtrust.org/cards a dewis lle, yn eu tyb nhw, y dylid plannu’r coed sy’n cael eu hariannu gan y cynllun ailgylchu eleni!”
Ers lansio Cynllun Ailgylchu Cardiau Nadolig Coed Cadw, ail-gychwyd cyfanswm o 659m o gardiau ar draws Gwledydd Prydain - 59 miliwn y llynedd yn unig! Defnyddiwyd yr arian yma i blannu 14,000 o goed.
Casglwyd 13,080 o dunelli o gardiau dros y 12 mlynedd ddiwethaf, gan alluogi Coed Cadw i blannu 155,000 o goed.
Dywed Rory Francis o Goed Cadw: “Bob blwyddyn rydan ni’n gwerthfawrogi’r gefnogaeth wych rydan ni’n gael o bawb sy’n ailgylchu eu cardiau Nadolig efo Coed Cadw. Mae hyn yn gwneud gwahaniaeth fawr i’n gwaith ni! Dyna pam rydan ni eisio diolch yn fawr eleni trwy roi cyfle i bobl ddewis lle maen nhw eisio gweld eu coed yn cael eu plannu.”
