Report from Wapley Work Morning Sunday 30 November

Some of our volunteers at the work session

Ten of us planted 60 young trees on a sunny work morning in the Centenary Wood at Wapley Bushes. The ground was good and the trees just flew in - we finished a lot faster than we had planned!

 The mix of trees was as follows:

25 x Hazel - Corylus avellana
12 x Field Maple - Acer campestre
5 x Hornbeam - Carpinus betulus
5 x Dogwood - Cornus sanguinea
3 x Guelder Rose - Viburnum opulus
5 x Dog Rose - Rosa canina
5 x Hawthorn - Crataegus monogyna

Thank you to all our keen volunteers!
