Tree Planting With Conservation Volunteers

 Tree planting volunteers at work

 

This morning, by happenchance, I encountered a small group of people, spanning all ages, hard at work in sort of digging activity in the local country park.

Upon enquiry I learned that this was a tree planting exercise (native species) undertaken under the aegis of TCV a conservation charity focused on nature.

I was very encouraged to see this activity. The particular park is popular with locals and well managed but maybe 20pct of the tree and shrub population is invasive and non-native, e.g. bamboo and rhododendron.

I was delighted to be given the opportunity to plant one of the young saplings.

Here is 'my' sapling (to left of spade).
