See below a message from Dr. David Taylor, the Chairman of Branchlines. It is good to see that Brian and Shirley's hard work over the years in helping to create and to maintain the wood is being recognised.
BRANCHLINES - OLD SCHOOL WOOD
PUBLIC HEDGE PLANTING SESSION.
SATURDAY MARCH 17TH 9.30AM -12.30
Volunteers are invited to join us again in planting at our village wood.
We hope to plant another 40 metres of hedge along the top bank.
This amounts to 200 saplings at 5 per metre.
They will be easy to plant in well prepared soil.
Each will be protected with a spiral shelter and a cane support.
Please bring gardening gloves and a small/border spade if possible.
As a tribute to all the work Brian and Shirley Rose have done for the wood, we have decided to name the top bank 'Rose Bank' and we will be including a number of wild roses in the hedge on the day.
Maintenance work has continued over the winter, replacing a few stakes, shelters and dead trees. We are all hoping that the lizards will reappear from their hibernaculum as the days lenghthen and warm.
Look out later for details of our popular annual quiz and a jubilee event, when we hope to plant a 'Royal Oak'.
David Taylor, chair of Branchlines
