It needn’t be big – the neglected corner of a field or a hard-to-reach strip. Sensitively planted, trees are not only good for nature, climate and flood management, they can enhance the landscape and character of an area like Swaledale where wood-pasture has long been an established feature.
‘Together for Trees’ will provide everything needed to create native, broadleaf woodland or hedgerows plus volunteering opportunities. The priority now is to identify sites in the next few weeks, in preparation for fencing (if needed) and planting later in the year. If you’d like to discuss making some land available to the project, or are interested in helping out, please email info@sustainableswaledale.org or phone Rob on 886 381.
