🌳 719 trees planted

In partnership with

Ecologi

We planted 719 trees and shrubs on this farm near Tiverton. There were some areas of ancient woodland nearby, along with other areas of deciduous woodland so we were able to connect our new planting with existing habitat to create a much better place for local wildlife. We had plenty of local volunteers to help us. Trees were planted in groups of the same species with shrubs in tighter clusters, and we also created a 150m hedgerow which will act as a wildlife corridor in years to come. We also planted 175 trees and shrubs at a neighbour’s farm (Hemyock) on a separate occasion.

Trees were planted as bare rooted 40-60cm whips and were protected with 1.2m tree tubes and stakes in clusters of the same species, randomly spaced. Shrubs protected with 75cm shrub guards and stakes. Random gaps were left to provide open areas in the woodland.
