TWIG completed one of their two big planting projects last Sunday 26th February. Eight volunteers (3 new) turned up to plant a row of 15 large cherry trees to form Cherry Tree Walk at the Moors entrance into the wood. Come along in springtime to see the 3 varieties of cherry flowering. Thanks go to the volunteers and the sponsors of Johnsons Wax and Action Earth who funded the project.8th Feb 06
