Tree planting is the easy bit. Everyone wants to do it. Keeping the weeds down is the part we don't do enough and it's leading to poor establishment in some restoration plantings. thanks Will Harvie for bringing this to light stuff.co.nz/environment/13âŚ

Great to be back presenting to Plumpton College forestry and arboriculture students this morning. Always a pleasure! UWE Centre for Sustainable Planning & Environments


Just had a message to say that our #trees have arrived! There are 45 altogether, which we'll be planting on verges around #Lewes later this month. Thank you to Lewes District Council and ESCC for generously including us in their LATF bid, which will pay for 20 of the trees!
