June 2023 -Work Party and plant sale

 

Sunday 4th June - Work Party

 A bit of warmth after a lot of rain earlier in the year, and the woodland was at it's peak of growth. With mechanical and non mechanical equipment, the focus was to open up the overgrown paths to make the woodland for accessible and welcoming.

Sunday 11th June - Plant Sale

Back to our pre-covid big plant sale arrangements  with refreshments and raffle. Advertised locally with the minimum amount of laminated posters because we like to use as little plastic as possible and on social media.

It was a very hot day but thanks to lots of local support with donations and customers we raised £487 which we are going to spend on a memorial bench and put towards necessary expert tree work.

The unsold plants have gone to the Otley shop to raise money for Parkinsons disease.
