Another tree and hedgerow planting site just finished high up on Kebs Road above Cornholme. A truly beautiful area when you can see more than a few meters in front of you through the fog! We've planted 200 trees, 375m of hedgerow and put some stock fencing up where necessary to keep the sheep off. We have decided not to use plastic spirals on our hedge plants on this site and are trying to move away from using any non-recyclable plastics in the future. Due to this sites exposed location and a lot of the hedge being double fenced we believe spirals weren't necessary however this will need monitoring and if there is extensive damage from deer or rabbits we may have to fit some protection at a later date.

The team have now finished the tree and hedgerow planting in Cragg Vale with over 900m of hedge, 300 trees and some willow revetments adding up to a total of 6,150 trees planted. The project was designed primarily as a natural flood management scheme with cross contour hedging, willow revetments and wider catchment area woodland all helping to reduce flooding. However there are many other benefits to wildlife and the environment from the wide selection of native plants used across the site.

A big thank you from the Forus Tree team to the amazing Suma volunteers who came out to help plant over 200 trees and 130m of hedgerow last week. The work is part of a natural flood management scheme in the Cragg Vale area which when completed will have 905m of hedgerow, 300 trees and several willow revetments. These have all been designed to slow the flow of water into the nearby stream which reduces the stress on our waterways during heavy rainfall and ultimately reduces the risk of flooding in the valley.
