Local Environmental Projects Update




It was such a lovely day today that Nick and I decided to go and have a look at the latest planting at Old School Wood, the community woodland project in Great Waldingfield . The final batch of trees was planted a couple of weeks ago, and the site now looks very impressive as can be seen from the picture above. I have to admit that I did not turn out to help on the day. I am really not a great enthusiast for physical effort, and my gardening endeavours at home can best be described as taking place in ultra slow motion.


We also took time to visit the Woodland BATS tree nursery in Chilton, which has been enhanced by the donation of a number of new trees, including some evergreens. We admired the nearby pond which has now been fully cleared and looks quite transformed.










We were very struck by the bench on the site donated by Waitrose. It is made entirely out of recycled plastic bags!
