We will be building wooden raised beds with some larch sleepers, sowing veg and wildflower seeds and doing a general sort out of the garden in preparation for the growing season.

We planted some large, standard trees- field Maple, hornbeam and crabapple and sowed wildflowers. 

We will be meeting at Stephen Smith's Car Park at 9.30am ( free parking is available here whilst planting) and walking to a site in Harden to carry out tree planting with Bradford Rotary Club Bronte and two local schools, from 10am in the morning. 

We will not be travelling in the minibus, so anyone wanting to come along will need to make their own way there.

This will be our last visit to St Ives to carry out tree guard removal before the ground nesting season for birds starts in earnest. 

Please bring a packed lunch and wear long trousers and long sleeved clothing, as there are lots of brambles in the undergrowth.

If you would like a lift we will be leaving Culture Fusion by 10am. If driving, parking is £3 for the day and we can reimburse any costs.

We need to check trees on the site for damage, particularly from rabbits and replace damaged trees with new ones.

Please get in touch if you would like to join us.

We will be looking to complete the winter orchard management jobs such as pruning the soft fruit bushes and dealing with the branches from the hedge cutting and coppicing that we have done. 

This is the second of two days of removing tree guards from trees that have become restricted by the guards, as there are a large quantity needing removal. It will also be a chance to remove any competing weeds and vegetation.

Please get in touch if you would like to come along.

Sorry we have had to cancel Thursday's Tree Guard removal session. Please get in touch with us if you are planning to do Friday's session.
