In the past few days, Aly and Kim met to plant some new trees in the Jubilee Wood, as part of the Sports Centre's plan to improve nature on the War Memorial Recreation Field site.

The trees were donated by The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) as part of their #IDigTrees campaign, funded by Ovo Energy customers.
They include Oak, Silver Birch, Rowan, Beech, Hornbeam, Spindle and Goat Willow.
Altogether, we have now planted 32 trees, as we also have a "Landmark Tree" given to our Parish by Saving Devon's Treescapes (Devon Wildlife Trust).
This has been planted as part of our Queen's Platinum
Jubilee "Green Canopy".

After the planting we took a photo of Mike Wilson, who is Chair of the Winkleigh War Memorial Recreation Field Trustees with the Small-leaved Lime Tree.

Spring flowers are showing in the wood, and the ferns are just starting to unfurl their leaves. There are primroses, greater stitchwort and celandine in flower. There will also be bluebells in the next month.
