There is something very satisfying about planting trees. I’m not talking about the 21st century ‘instant gratification’ sort of satisfaction. More the knowledge that you are making a difference to the landscape; how it will look in years to come and the kind of ecosystem the trees will support and be part of. I find this comforting even if we probably won’t be around to see them all come to maturity.
Below is an article from the FC about the massive tree planting program going on in Wales this winter.
On behalf of all the SWOG team, I’d like to thank everyone for contributing to the forum, the website and coming along to this year’s meetings. Hoping to see as many of you as possible in 2012, have a very Happy Christmas, prosperous New Year and much enjoyment from your woodlands.
