Very occasionally trees don't thrive on a site. On this particular patch at Scammonden this was due to ash die-back disease, and an unknown problem with a batch of alder trees. So we spent today inter-planting oaks and aspen amongst the dead and dying.
We were: Geoff, Dave, Philip, Richard, Adrian, Matthew, Jess, Kayleigh, Stephen, Steve, and myself.
I think we planted 50 aspen and 175 sessile oak?
Hard times to be positive. But we do what we can. Some, like Adrian, go that bit further (literally).
