In November, the planting of birth trees was still on the agenda. This year, parents of star children were given the opportunity to plant a tree for the first time. Star children are babies who die before, during or just after birth. The city of Roeselare wants to pay extra attention to the parents of star children. Due to the bad weather, the planting has been moved to the spring of 2023.
