As part of the ‘Friends’ wildlife initiative, Pete Civic and myself planted several Rowan, Birch, Buckthorn, Hawthorn, and Dogwood saplings this morning. These will eventually provide much needed cover and food source for the birds in the future. Most of the saplings were donated by The Woodland Trust and organized by Eva La Pensee, some were kindly donated by Catherine Foster’s father as part of the Queen’s Canopy project. All of the saplings were planted in areas that previously didn’t have any tree cover, such as adjacent to Thoresby St School and the Workhouse graves area. We still have a couple dozen more to plant.
