One hundred more trees to plant

More trees to fill the gaps in our spiral hedgerow

We have been given a further 100 small native trees to plant in the wildlife area by the Woodland Trust.  We will be planting them later this month or in early December.

These trees are given to commemorate the First World War, which claimed the lives of at least 27 men who served in the armed forces.

The wildlife area behind the Sports Centre now has a pedestrian gate beside the tennis courts. If you are visiting the area, please shut the gates after you. Sometimes stray sheep manage to find their way in, and then all our young trees get nibbled! 

This summer the area was again full of wild flowers and there were plenty of Ringlets, Skippers and Meadow Brown butterflies which breed on grasses.

In June a group of Beaver (Scouts) came to help put down shredded bark mulch to keep the weeds down round the trees.

If you would like to join in with our activities, we don't charge a membership fee, and everyone is welcome. You can send a message via this page.
