Kash and friends joined Earthwatch in planting their third Ealing Tiny Forest this year - the Hanger Hill Park Tiny Forest! It will become the closest Tiny Forest to Ealing Broadway (a group run task material?). Despite the overcast and a light drizzle, the team was full of energy and did so well that the last 200 trees to plant had to be hidden behind Earthwatch's van to save some planting fun for the 1 pm session. The group then switched to mulching, which was quite straightforward, with the tonne bags with mulch placed strategically inside the planting area.

After the fantastic effort, the Earthwatch team treated the volunteers to tea and biscuits. Kash's team then took a break before the 1 pm planting shift, having a stroll around North Ealing, possibly finding a cosy local pub on the way.

It was revitalising to be able to contribute positively to the environment, what with increasing impact of global warming and to also become a tree parent. I look forward to watching the trees grow and will be visiting them in 3 months and more to see the progress. (Attached is a before photo)
