Hemplow Wood

This morning we were at Hemplow Wood, overlooking Butterley Reservoir and Marsden golf course. This is a site we have previously planted, with permission and guidance from Yorkshire Water, who own the land. Once again we were checking for failed trees, and filling in any spaces we could find. It is a fairly hard walk to the site, carrying 200 stakes, guards and trees, which meant we started planting quite late, and only got around 120 trees planted. We planted oak, alder, and a few pine. Today's cake was sultana cake. Today was also notable because we were joined briefly by Guy.
