Hi Suzy. How can I get involved? Xx
Today, our volunteers provided some extra care and attention to the Cherry trees we were gifted from Japan on Thomas Ellis Way. We surrounded their bases with cardboard, covered that in sheep's fleece, then some of our good quality woodchip. This will suppress weeds, protect them in the cold spells and help the soil retain moisture when we eventually get some warm weather! With some added blood, fish and bone nutrients, they will have some good nutrients to enhance their growth. We have also spread some wildflower seed around to help the pollinators. ...

Looks delicious
A productive felling session today. Removal of the larch and opening up of the woodlands allows natural regeneration and increased biodiversity. We also have 200 oak saplings to plant! Next up a Brush-cutting session to bash the brambles. Come and volunteer with us, our committed volunteers are trained in a whole range of forestry tasks. We come from all backgrounds, we are nurses, Mums, tradespeople, work for government, retired, some of us have bad backs, dodgy knees, deal with mental health issues and we can all help in some way! Never think you can't, you can and we would welcome you! ... See MoreSee Less
