Tree planting today with Matt Davey from Lincolnshire County Council, at a new site for us - Barlings Wood. The Council are creating this new woodland on a restored landfill site. It was very windy as predicted but the sunshine made up for it (as long as you were well wrapped up). The turnout was so good and we worked so efficiently that we'd planted up the required area by lunchtime! Apparently the Council have set an ambitious target for tree planting in the County over the next 3 years so we are pleased to have done our bit.
We welcomed two new volunteers, Amy and Finn, and were joined briefly by a local resident who wanted to give her grandson the experience of planting a tree!
