GB40 - Tree & Leaf

GB40, Tree and Leaf, 1st August 2000. We joined up with the Pabay tree planting charity for this one as it was the ideal subject. The illustration is a beautiful aerial photograph of Pabay Island in the deep blue sea. It is close the Isle of Skye and the cover commemorates the excellent tree planting work that is taking place on Pabay.
Our cover bears the full set of Royal Mail stamps cancelled with our sponsored handstamp as usual, and also bears the £1 Pabay stamp overprinted "10th Anniversary Tree Planting'. A signed and numbered limited edition of 125 at £13.50 retail, £9 to members of GBFDC. There is also a Pabay Island version with the Pabay Island £1 stamp and the Royal Mail 65p Tree stamp. A limited edition of 250.
