The Fuzz

Shelter belt foliage.

This week we were up above Butterley Reservoir, removing stakes and guards from a farmland shelter belt. Pleasant morning with 300+ tubes reclaimed. Though not so many stakes.

We were: myself, Tanya, Geoff, Hap, Stephen, Paul, and Dave.

Top quality photos by Tanya (as usual).

2025/26 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.
