The Glendale guys
On Friday 30th January over 30 volunteers and a small team from Glendale braved a really rainy day to plant 42 trees.
It was an incredible effort with lots of our volunteer Tree Wardens on hand to assist less experienced tree planters and it saw all the trees in the ground, with stakes and ties in just over 3 hours!
This project was funded by the Plymouth & South Devon Community Forest which will also be covering the cost of 2 new picnic benches for residents to enjoy and 3 watering for 3 years, to help the trees establish.
Big thanks to all the volunteers, Glendale and PCH for collaborating on this project.
