On the 24th January and the 28th February 2023 the Green Team Volunteers were at Spout House Woodland removing old tree guards from the woodland. The trees had outgrown their protective shields and so they needed to be removed in order to promote a continued, healthy growth.
Tree guards had been tied to wooden stakes with reusable cable-ties, these were both collected to be reused or recycled. Using box cutters (for safety!) tree guards were then cut along a convenient perforation and pulled off the trees. The guards were grouped together and tied up using the cable-ties for later recycling. Some of the tree guards have already been taken away for recycling and prospects has arranged for the rest to be taken at a later date.
Prospects would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our amazing volunteers for helping us with the aftercare for this wonderful green space, we would also like to thank Dave Daly from the Huncoat Community Forum for his help.
As always, thank you to our funders Green Recovery Challenge Fund and National Lottery Heritage Fund for their support in the work we do.
