The Woodland Trust has very generously donated 420 trees to us at Oathall to plant an 80-metre hedgerow on our farm, next to the river. The trees are a variety of native species and will provide a natural habitat for our wildlife as well as providing some stability to the river bank.
Our Thursday farm club students worked really hard to help clear the brambles and plant the trees. The trees are very small at the moment but we will enjoy watching them grow into a beautiful hedgerow in a few years time.
Thank you to all the staff and students who helped with the enormous task, and thank you to The Woodland Trust for your generosity.
