Image of the group of planters with their toolsOn Saturday a group of us planted five substantial Oak trees around Great Wilbraham. The trees are already more than 3.5 metres tall and were grown in the UK.

Thankyou Paul, Roger, Chris, Tony, Richard, David, Cathy, James – and most of all Wren who, because of his youth, is the most likely to see the trees grow to early maturity!
