This month we will be focusing on tree thinning. Thinning
is often the most important thing you can do to influence the growth and health
of a woodland - proper spacing and thinning can reduce overcrowding and relieve
tree stress. Thinning helps create a more open site and allows sunlight to reach the woodland floor. This can increase the biodiversity of the woodland as it encourages an under-storey of small plants, shrubs and flowers which attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, which in turn provide food for a range of birds and bats.
Meeting at Oakfield Community Centre, 10am (to 1pm), Saturday 14th November
