National Tree Week and the Big Climate Fightback
This weekend was the Woodland Trust's 'Big Climate Fightback' campaign to get a million trees planted. So we organised a work-party up at the Biodiversity Area on Sunday 1st December. The grass had just had a second cut, which made walking around the path more manageable. It was great to see the enthusiasm of the volunteers, young and old. Thirteen adults and four children, got stuck into clearing grass, cutting bramble, and planting another 30 trees - mainly native tree seedlings from our gardens.

| Busy volunteers |
Here are some of the volunteers, with another four of us who do not appear in the photos. We have ordered some more packs of trees, so this looks like being a busy Winter, as we fill in the gaps around the spiral maze hedgerow.
It was a bright, dry but cold afternoon. We were delighted to have another sighting of a Stonechat, which flitted around us and sat on the top of canes.
