Woodlea is a site that is near and dear to us at Protect Earth. We’ve been back quite a few times now, making sure to cultivate and encourage the growth of our saplings as much as we can. Our first planting was back in October ‘22. We were lucky enough to have the weather on our side, and were able to get all 454 trees into the ground in quick fire succession. We went for an 80:20 ratio of trees to shrubs respectively, with trees roughly 3 meters apart. We did this so that we can also encourage some natural regeneration in the areas between our planting.
