Near Gargrave
We headed up to Otterburn again today to help Forest of Bradford and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust with their end of season planting commitments. We planted hedging plants, mainly Hawthorn and Hazel but also some Guelder Rose, along an old field boundary. This involved climbing into a fenced stretch and digging amongst roots and stones, but the job was completed in time for us to tend to some trees planted last year. This invovled checking all trees were guarded and all stakes were in securely.
We took the opportunity to enjoy the views and the call of the curlews.
