| Tiny tree, regrowing after fire. |
So today we were helping the National Trust identify and protect trees caught in last year's big moor fire to the west of Marsden. Lots didn't survive, but we found 300 that did, in just one morning. We have noticed from previous fires that seemingly dead trees will sprout again from the roots. But they are then tiny seedlings struggling against the rest of the vegetation around them. So for the 300 survivors we found we put new low profile plastic tubes on them to give them a better chance. This sort of work is very labour intensive, but quite satisfying. Weather helped, sunny with a good breeze.
