The Colne Valley Tree Society: Away from the numbers

Old Mount Road, Marsden. Starting a long mixed hedgerow. We were; myself, Dave, Philip, Dianne, Philip, Michael, Jon, Hap, and Ben. We put in 500 plants - 350 hawthorn, 50 hazel, 50 blackthorn, 25 guelder, 25 dog rose.

Snow lay round about.

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.
