Our wonderful regular volunteer Margot and Dan from @calderdale.bsky.social mulched the trees planted at Calder Holmes Park in Hebden Bridge 🌳

These trees were planted as part of 40 trees donated from our Daisy Bank community tree nursery to commemorate 40 years of the @womencentre.bsky.social 💚

Lots of deep digging going on today to lift these deep-rooted pedunculate oak and the odd self seeded willow. Working in good company and lovely sunshine💛

We are looking forward to planting these fabulous trees in February 🌳 Give us a shout if you fancy joining us for one of our tree planting days.

Fencing in preparation for tree planting this season. Adapted stock fencing with alternating 8ft posts for adding deer netting to keep sheep and deer out so the larger trees grown at Daisy Bank community tree nursery can stay free range and be planted without individual deer guards and stakes 🌳

Another productive day at the tree nursery 🌱 Due to the frozen ground and forecasted rain, we spent the day in the barn processing and preparing seeds trays with seeds we collected locally. If all goes to plan, the trays should germinate in spring, and the seedlings pricked out later in the year.

Happy New Year 💫 We had a frosty start to the year for our first Friday session of the year at Daisy Bank community tree nursery🌱

We spent the day lifting Pedunculate Oak, grading them and heeling them back into the ground in preparation for planting this season.

It's been a productive day at the tree nursery as part of our usual weekly Friday volunteer day. The empty sections of the main field beds are being weeded and covered with cardboard over winter, so they are prepared for broadcasting seeds and planting out seedlings in spring.
