Every child at Wenhaston Primary School planted at least one tree in St Peter’s Pightle last Tuesday. Thank you for the trees Woodland Trust!
Key Stage 1 visited in the morning and quickly got stuck into planting beside the pedestrian gate. They didn’t get too distracted by the tractor cultivating the rest of the field , ready for wild flower seed planting at a later date. It was great to think that those children will grow up with the trees and through school visits they will be able to see the hedge develop. In the afternoon Key Stage 2 arrived to finish the planting of over 200 trees in the hedge with a thicket at the far end. The local horse manure was used to thickly mulch the plants and to keep water in the soil. Now we hope for mild, damp spring weather to help the young trees grow strong.
