Report written by Laura W
As the group gathered it all became curiouser and curiouser about the tasks that lay ahead. We were led to the tree nursery and shown the range of jobs from heeling trees to clearing brambles. Most were hard at work - Jer, Rob and Cosmo were heelings trees; Emily, James and Meyrick were clearing tree branches. Then there was calls of 'I'm late, I'm late' as Laura arrived. The hard work continued for just over an hour until we supposed we ought to eat or drink something or other; but the great question is ‘What?’ We had a short pause for a mini tea party to celebrate Emily's 50th Good deed and Meyrick's new 50 black t-shirt that he was proudly supporting. Refuelled we continued with our tasks despite nearly losing a couple of members down the rabbit holes.
More Trees BANES is a not-for-profit community group, that works hard to protect and plant trees in our local area. Set up in 2008, we are run entirely by volunteers. We’ve planted approximately 8,000 trees so far, and are currently scaling up our work significantly. There is a huge groundswell of desire to plant and protect trees – we provide a simple means for people to take easy, positive actions.
