Digging Deep

The Conservation Volunteers have been on site with the heavy equipment.

The Miyawaki forest is taking shape. A digger was used to dig the area to a depth of 1.4m and turn it over.  Most of the trees have been planted with mycorrhizal fungi added to enrich the soil and woodchip as a mulch. A fence has been installed to protect against deer and rabbits and we will mark out the w3w squares. The final trees will be planted by our kind sponsors in their w3w square, in the new year.

While the digger was on site, the wildflower area was scraped ready for seeding in the spring.

The Conservation Volunteers will next be on site on 15 December.
