Our planned trip to Otterburn had to be changed today as the ground conditions were too wet to get the materials to the planting site. Instead we travelled south to within view of the Peak District. We were helping with the Woodland Trust scheme at Hepworth, fairly near Holmfirth.
There was a wetter section in the middle of the field, where aspen and willow were planted. The other species included hazel, oak, birch and hornbeam (not a species we normally plant).
It was satisfying to get the job completed, with all trees planted, staked and guarded securely.
