Tree planting complete

Posted by Martin

We have now completed the 30,000 tree contract for Sunrise Poultry Farms of Sileby, helping them to further their ongoing free-range expansion program.

The planting scheme consisted of mixed native woodland planted in large areas with 10% open space, and grouped plantings closer to the sheds. Also were larger fast growing species (Poplar and Willow) planted within the groups to give fast cover for the birds to seek shelter under. These were planted using a hole-borer.

Species Planted include:
Oak, Ash, Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Field Maple, Silver Birch, Dogwood, Hazel, Spindle, Scots Pine, Rowan, Guelder Rose, Poplar and Willow.
