More tree planting on the Mound

On Sunday December 1st (10am-12 noon) we will be planting 100 more trees, mostly on the Mound at the rear of the Sports Centre.

Western Power has given these tiny trees as part of their environmental initiative for us to plant as a community project.  They will arrive with stakes and tree guards, and each one will be about 60 cm high.

We have chosen a range of native hedgerow trees, including hazel, hawthorn and whitebeam to plant as a spiral pathway from the top of the mound.  The trees will provide food and shelter for birds, caterpillars and mammals.

It is hoped that this will one day be a feature of the Winkleigh War Memorial Recreation Field and that future generations of children will play there.

Volunteer tree-planters welcome.  Come along and join in.
