Acorn Picking with Woodnook Primary School

Acorn Picking with Woodnook Primary School

Last week Woodnook Primary School's Year 3s helped our Community TreeACTION Officer Helen collect acorns from their local Jubilee Woodland.

The children were amazing at picking acorns; they gathered over 1,000! The group kept moving as to not over-pick one area, and any 'duds' (acorns that floated in water and therefore were not viable for planting) were put back into the woodland for wildlife.
The acorns, along with 2,000 seeds from other tree species, were planted by service users of Tinker Brook nursery. Fingers crossed they will grow to be large and healthy oak trees! When they reach 30-50cm tall they will be planted in and around Hyndburn.

Thank you to our funders Hyndburn Borough Council
