Trees!

Had a great day yesterday down at Carr Lane woods planting over 1000 trees! These were spread over 4 small copses and included Hawthorn, Rowan, Hornbeam, Oak, Crab apple, Alder and Black thorn. The people helping out got really stuck in and soon got the hang of things.
We worked alongside The Conservation Volunteers and liaised with Eric on where to plant them. We had some great ideas planting Hawthorn next to the existing bramble to create habitat for birds next to a feeding station.

Epic spade skills!

Getting stuck in!

Changing the landscape

Mucky boots

Fun in the sun

Hard at work

Small whips will one day be tall trees

As you can see from the pictures the work is not too strenuous and if the weather is as nice as it was yesterday, the day can be really relaxing!

Thanks to everyone who joined in and helped out especially TCV who will be donating trees on Tuesday for The Dell.

If you wish to be involved in the plantation on Tuesday 18th please meet us on Huyton Lane at the top of Carr Lane, L34 between 9:30 - 10:00am
