Both Aimee and Damu spent their lunch breaks branching out into a little bit of tree science.

Armed with a measuring tape, a ruler, and lots of enthusiasm we set about doing a tree survey at the Tiny Forest in Bensham. For each of the trees/shrubs, we had to measure the distance away from the closest edge, the height from the ground and the diameter of the stem. We managed to survey 20 in total, and are pleased to report that all were alive and healthy (except one that might have perished).

It was lovely to see how much the tiny forest had grown since we first planted everything a few months ago.

We both agreed it was a most pleasant way to get away from work!
