Big Climate Fightback - Woodland Trust 2019

Seven years' progress - let's celebrate!

Before we started - Winter 2012


Seven years ago - first tree planting in December 2012

This week is National Tree Week and the Woodland Trust are asking people to pledge to plant a million trees by this weekend.  So we are going up to the Biodiversity Area on Sunday 1st December from 1.30pm onwards to plant a few more trees and to maintain the ones we already have planted.  We are planning to cut back brambles and remove some tree guards which are now too tight. The weather is still mild, so the grass is likely to be quite long.  Seven years have passed since our first planting on 4th December 2012.  Some of the volunteers are no longer with us having moved away, but new people have joined us along the way.  Many thanks to all those who have offered encouragement and support to this project, which is beginning to bear fruit both metaphorically and in reality!
