Tree planting at campsite

I'm really pleased to tell you that we are being given 420 saplings from the Woodland Trust to be planted at the campsite which are arriving in a few weeks time. This is a lovely mix of crab apple, blackthorn, elder, hazel and dog rose and we will be planting these around the campfire circle and then along the edge of the new footpath and particularly to screen off the newly seeded top pitch.

We do of course need help to plant all of these trees so please come along on Saturday 14 November from 9.30 to 2.30 (or when you can during that time) to give us a hand. Bring a spade and a packed lunch and we will provide tea, coffee, soup etc.

If you want to bring any of your sections along to help please let Ken know so that he can be prepared for arrivals and do remind any young people to wear warm clothing, a coat and boots. All youth members will need to be supervised by either a leader or a parent so please don't suggest they come along on their own

This is a great opportunity to enhance our campsite even further and to screen the campfire circle. I do hope you will be able to help out for a couple of hours and you will then be able to track the progress of your trees and in a few years time who knows we can have a day making jam, sloe gin, and elderflower cordial from the harvest!!

Many thanks in advance for your support.
