Carry on, mind that chicken. The sequel

Our second week at this site, and we were joined by Mrs Shires and Lindley infants OWLs group. Incredibly brave of them, condsidering it was a miserable rainy morning. The kids didn't seem to mind though, and another 400 or so trees got planted. Amazing progress. Thankyou again to Yolande for organising, and for all the parents and children who joined in. Lets hope the weather is nicer next time. I took no photos this week, as it was a bit wet, and I have to admit I'd left the batteries in the charger anyway. So thank you to Duncan for the picture. In just two Saturdays around 1000 trees got planted on this site, pretty darn impressive.

2024/25 Season

We are a registered charity and group of volunteers, who plant native species trees in and around the Colne Valley. Occasionally there will be remarks on facebook that suggest we are a threat to all that lovely moorland. We are flattered that some people think a dozen volunteers could cover the thousands of hectares of moorland with trees. In fact, we plant responsibly, and always with the permission and support of landowners. The Pennines are one of the most heavily regulated areas in the UK for tree planting, its a wonder we get anything done.
