More trees to fill the gaps

An enthusiastic group of volunteers gathered on Sunday afternoon, 12th January.  After endless rain, at last the weather was dry and we planted approximately 100 trees in two hours.

This time we had an energetic band of 5 teenagers and 10 adults - a great turn-out at short notice.

The native trees included willow, blackthorn, hawthorn, oak, red dogwood.  We also planted some primroses and raspberry canes.

To avoid more plastic, we re-used our rabbit spirals and canes from some trees which no longer needed them.

We also took the opportunity to do some formative pruning on some of the older trees, such as the Cherry and the Oak, guided by Tom.

The trees were funded by Ovo Energy as part of #IDigTrees and distributed by The Conservation Volunteers.
