On a cold and wet morning Luton Rotarians and Volunteers from the Conservation Trust assembled at the car park with our forks, spades etc, etc.
After trudging across ¼ mile of playing field, we inspected the whips (saplings) that we planted last November.
It is encouraging to see that many were still in existence and
surviving although the support stakes that had been put in place had
all been ‘whipped’ by some locals, no doubt for their own gardens!!
We reached the area where we were to plant a new hedge of hawthorn with mixed blackthorn and whitethorn.
The ground was so much easier to dig then that in Hay Wood from the
year before, that we were all done by 12 o’clock and able to make rapid
progress back to Julia who was frozen by her car with the bacon rolls
and doughnuts etc, etc.
Many thanks to all that helped. It was very good to see some of the
new members out helping in a hands on way with the environmental
projects.
We do intend in taking a project table at the House of Friendship at
the District Conference to try and encourage other clubs to also take
up the environmental challenge.
