Tree planting

 

One thing you and for that matter local scouting associations can get involved in is conservation work of various kinds from clearing a site to, as here, planting saplings so that over time we restore some of our woodlands lost to deforestation and encroachment on old woodlands in recent years.

Such things are righly worthwhile both in terms of the wildlife trees support but also for capturing our carbon emmissions.

It does matter through this process that co-ordination between everybody is involved to avoid situations such as that which did occure on one project in New Zealand in 1970 that when clearing up the land, bulldozers failed to see the newly planted saplings!

I'd of been right annoyed upon finding our abour that had I had undertaken the planting.
