Out watering trees again today, with warmer, dryer weather ahead. Thanks to all our regulars for a good watering run. Like bees to a honeypot, volunteers await to fill watering cans from the refilled bowser at Rickstones Recreation Ground.

Out watering but with a reduced schedule. As it was threatening to rain heavily later morning, we decided to give our 2 year old trees only one can of water this week. This meant only 2 bowser loads as well as finishing earlier. It was dry for the 1st load until around 10am, with fairly light rain for the second, so we finished shortly after 11am.

Two photos, one of us watering trees on the cyclepath towards Rivenhall in the tain and the second is our chairman and (new) deputy chairman propping up a tree cage.

We planted a variegated Tulip Tree in The Avenue a few years ago. (Outside no. 12). It is now flowering. I understand that the variegated versions flower earlier in their lives than the usual version.

A bit of a late post, but we were out last Thursday with the regulars, watering trees. Photo is of the whips by the railway towards Rivenhall which we are watering this year after last year's almost entire failure rate of the whips we planted.

We were lucky that we finished just before the rain started!

Thursday, so we were out watering trees again. Definitely needed by the trees as some are suffering in the dry and windy weather. Many thanks to our 3 volunteers fron Aegon today helping us to water the 3000ltrs of water to the trees.

If you see a tree near you that is newly planted or suffering, please give it a water.

The photo is of our 3 volunteers on the upper part of the cycleway.

It is Thursday, so we are watering trees again!

We were very grateful to the four volunteers from Persimmon Homes as several of our regulars were unable to come, including Richard, our recently appointed Deputy Chairman. Despite this, we left no tree unwatered (hopefully).

Despite a small amount of rain over the last few days, we were out watering again today. Our regulars were outnumbered by additional volunteers from both Aegon and Persimmon Homes as well as others.

All trees (hopefully) watered with 2 cans each. A day when all our 25 watering cans came into full use.

I must check my spell check. A big thank you to our volunteers from Persimmon Homes. I seem to have just invented a new housing company, sorry!
