Fruitful Saturday morning with a parkrun-Goodgym double bill!

Hannah and Laura ran Wilmslow parkrun event #430 along with 218 other participants. Juno and Ben marshaled at the "middle bridge".

For the task itself, we took a stroll towards Wilmslow High School before trekking across their fields to find the L-shaped tiny forest. The aim was to survey the tagged trees to indicate which of the 100 planted in February 2023 were still growing and to measure them up.

Many of the trees were still alive with weed growth minimal. We managed to survey 46 trees in total with 20 of those still tagged, with many tags missing or disintegrated. Tape measures, plant ID apps/sheets, and Juno having zoomies made for a good hour or so of tree surveying before we collated the data and made our way back to the town centre.

Hopefully the tiny forest is still used and maintained long term through the school or local groups and perhaps we can be back again, either for maintenance or a survey in the near future.
