Completing the tree protection

Despite the cold easterly wind, and with a good group of volunteers, a further supply of recycled fencing wire was fashioned into more tree protectors to complete the work to guard against further Roe Deer antler fraying of the young saplings in Bathing House Wood.

Most had been planted by pupils of Donibristle Primary in March 2015 in remembrance of the WW1 soldiers who had been stationed in Bathing House Wood, and some had done so well that, like this Rowan, they were taller than Joe, one of the pupils who had been very involved in the planting four years earlier.

A few new pot grown trees, an oak, a blackthorn, a hawthorn, and a rowan were also added to replace ones lost to fraying or other damage.
