After three days of work, eight volunteers from the gardening group have managed to plant all 420 trees that make up our new hedge. The hedge is made up of six native species of tree – hazel, silver birch, dogwood, hawthorn, wild cherry and rowan. Over the coming years, as the hedge grows, it will start to provide shelter and food for many species of wildlife. It will also be a colourful border to the estate,it will help absorb pollution from the road and it will remove carbon dioxide from the air.
Thanks again to the Woodland Trust for supplying the trees and to these companies for providing the funding:
