Firstly a very Happy New Year to all our supporters; I hope you have all enjoyed a peaceful Christmas.
I was very pleased last week to receive the first rooted Christmas tree to start off our appeal for more spruce trees. These will be planted out on the Reserve to compliment those already onsite, as they provide excellent nesting and roosting opportunities for a miriad of wild birds.
Rather than have a mass planting session, we will get them in the ground as they come in, to avoid any problems with frost if/when it finally arrives.
Many thanks for your continued support, and Best Wishes to you all for 2019.
