The Town Mayor Councillor Jill Hood upstaged here by Bob Macey's Dog whilst planting a tree commemorating the completion of the New Barn Project.
The Tree a field maple, donate by Boultons of Moddershall has thrived after this initial watering in.
Two semi mature oaks were added to the historic avenue of oaks at the top of the Mount Road field last Saturday (Just below the Muddleys) .
One of the trees and the essential cattle proof surround fencing has already been sponsored .
This winter is the start of the Queen's Green Canopy Platinum Jubilee project, It would be a wonderful if a local group or organisation would like to sponsor the second oak tree and the essential fencing.
The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) is a unique tree-planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.
Aston and Little Stoke Cubs were hedge planting on Stone Common Plot this morning. Cubs and Parents worked in three -hourly shifts planting mixed hedging along the top woodland path. The trees, canes and guards were given by The Woodland Trust as part of their Community and Schools programme.
This activity was an element of the the Cubs' Environmental Conservation Activity Badge and The Naturalist Badge.
The task was completed with great enthusiasm - well done everyone.
