Residents come together (socially distanced!) for some woodland maintenance
On Saturday 10th October 2020 residents pulled together, young & old (7 to 70+), to help with the
community woodland maintenance. By working together we made light work of what seemed a
mammoth task.
The diseased trees were felled, creating a safe space and providing materials for
paths, bug hotels and hedgehog homes. It seems the biodiversity is already well established, with a
field mouse coming to join in the effort at one point.
This is now a beautiful space for us all to enjoy and more is yet to come with spring bulbs planted
and lots of ideas for the future (perhaps a wild flower area, a den or some willow sculptures??). I
can’t wait to see it mature and develop.
The new trees are doing well also and have survived the
drought! In these difficult times when we don’t have access to all the pleasures we’re used to,
this is a treasure that we can carry on enjoying come rain or shine.
