Workday

On sunday, I participated in workday at Fishpond Wood & Beverley Meads (LNR). The volunteer work of that time was tree planting to create a shrub hedge! As it was second time for me to join this groupe, I could be relax and enjoy this activity. The process of planting is as follows:

1. Dig a hole which is deep enough to cover a roots ofsapling
2. Plant a sapling and cover its roots by soil
3. Cover the sapling by tree-cover to protect from mammal such as rabbits and deers
4. Cover the ground around the sapling with mould



Then, I tried to even cutting tree by the meadow to let in light into woods. The strategy is simple: leave big unique shaped trees and cut young trees obstructing the view to the meadow.
These activities were a good opportunity to learn landscape management, so I would like to continue joinning this monthly workday.
