If the snow has not melted it is unlikely that we will be able to go ahead with the tree planting at Dewsbury Country Park on Friday 25th January. The technique for this site is planting the trees into a 'trench' already prepared by a tractor. If the snow is covering the ground then we will not be able to see where the trench is.

We can now confirm that the tree planting will not go ahead but will be rescheduled to Friday 1st March. As an alternative we will return to Brackenhill ULA to continue with the willow coppicing that we started last week. This will improve the area and increase the potential for different species of plants.
