Tree Group – Saturday 26th October

We will be meeting as usual this Saturday at 11:00am – rendez-vous also as usual the Market House. We will continue our walking around Ilminster to take in trees we have surveyed and maybe add some new ones. Our aim is to have enough information to create a Tree Walk around Ilminster from which we can produce both a physical and a virtual leaflet.

In midweek, Rob Leake met up with a Frome town councillor to talk about their Miyawaki wood/forest. This is one of the most effective tree planting methods for creating forest cover quickly on degraded land that has bee used for other purposes. He will be reporting back to us with the result of that discussion to see if we could replicate it in Ilminster.

Hopefully next month we will be out tree-planting. More information to follow shortly.
