March 2021
We acquired just over 3.6 acres of land in March. We were not entirely sure what we were going to do with it – just that it needed to be beneficial to more than just ourselves. Looking at the land around us, we felt tree planting would be a great place to start. A friend of a friend, who happened to work for the Woodland Trust, was able to help us source 750 trees, and over the course of a week in early March, we planted oak, field maple, silver birch, rowan, hawthorn, crab apple, bird cherry, dog rose, dog wood and hazel. When I say we – that was us, and a group of our very willing friends and neighbours.
