What a beautiful day to plant trees! There was a cool wind but the sun shone and we soon warmed up when we set to work. Some of us got to grips planting the cell grown saplings that the Woodland Trust had donated, Alan andRoger went to work installing the bridge across the ditch into Vicarage Grove and Tim cut the area that the children will plant on Friday with a noisy but very effective brush cutter.
At the end of the morning 420 trees had been planted and the new bridge is in place so that there is now a pleasant circular walk that takes in both the old oaks and hornbeams of Vicarage Grove and the newly planted saplings and mature hedges of Grove Piece.
