Marking up trees with the woodland ranger

There's still some time to do a little habitat work before spring comes along and several trees were marked up today with TCBC's woodland ranger. Most of these were under the pylons so would never be allowed to mature to their full height anyway. Most of the trees are goat willow which we have been using this winter to make willow bundles to try and stabilise the eroding stream banks. This one appears to be working well.
We'll doing this work in the next few weeks so if you are interested in joining in feel free to send an email to friendsofhenllyslnr.gmail.com
