Proving that young and old alike can gain a feel-good buzz from caring for the environment, another big team of volunteers got together to plant hedgerow saplings in Ladywell Fields today. Special moments for me included guiding an enthusiastic four year old as he planted his first tree and welcoming a grandad visiting from New Zealand who was curious enough to want to help out. With around 300 new native saplings now in the ground – adding more than 70 metres of wildlife-friendly carbon-absorbing hedgerow in this popular green space – we’re all looking forward to spotting the first buds appearing on their stems when the growing season starts.
