We had a Saturday session on 23rd November as part of National Tree week to plant trees in the Forest School area at Rothwell Heights, in conjunction with Adventure Hyndburn and Hyndburn Borough Council. The area is part of the Woodnook Vale Local Nature Reserve. Over 200 trees were planted to provide an understorey in areas where trees had been felled. This will improve the structure of the wood and the diversity of habitats. Woodnook Vale Local Nature Reserve was declared last year and along with Peel Park and The Coppice Local Nature Reserve is one of the two largest Local Nature Reserves in Lancashire. Leaflets on the reserves are available from Prospects Foundation and Hyndburn Borough Council. A further event for National Tree week will be held on Saturday 30th November at Plantation Wood, Accrington, details are in our What’s On section.
