Giving Hillsborough Park a Spruce* 🌳

*actually 3 Limes 😄

1 Goodgymmer joined other volunteers and the Sheffield community forestry team on this crisp bright morning at Hillsborough park. Our job: to plant out 3 new Lime trees to fill in gaps in the tree line at the edge of the park. This is part of an ongoing project to revamp cycle routes.

We dug out 3 big holes before transplanting the 3m high trees. We then had to hammer in posts with a heavy but satisfying pole rammer, which was a good workout! Last step was to secure the tree to the posts with hessian straps for support.

I finished up with a short jog around the park followed by lunch 😊
