The Colne Valley Tree Society: Lonely boy

Lonely boy

Back up to Huck Hill this morning to plant the last dozen trees on my own. We did seem to have dug slightly too many holes when we were preparing the other week though. There are 11 empty screefs, 12 guards, and 14 stakes left over. Maybe if there is something suitable left over at the end of the season I will pop back and fill these in...

2024/25 Season

We are a registered charity and group of volunteers, who plant native species trees in and around the Colne Valley. Occasionally there will be remarks on facebook that suggest we are a threat to all that lovely moorland. We are flattered that some people think a dozen volunteers could cover the thousands of hectares of moorland with trees. In fact, we plant responsibly, and always with the permission and support of landowners. The Pennines are one of the most heavily regulated areas in the UK for tree planting, its a wonder we get anything done.
