With the weather getting warmer and drier we’ll be watering newly planted trees from now on until early autumn.

Join us on Sunday 12 April for the first of our watering sessions. Meet at the Council depot (Chatsworth Road, next to the tennis courts) at 10.00.

If you can’t make Sunday and want to come on another occasion, join the Millfields Trees Group for updates.

From 10.30 on Sunday 15 March we’ll be finishing the mulching of baby trees in the woodland strip at the north end of the cricket field. Everyone is welcome to join in.

The woodland strip needs a thick layer of mulch (wood chip) to suppress weeds and trap moisture in the soil. Join us in shovelling and pushing wheelbarrows for a couple of hours of outdoor exercise with friends and neighbours.

Meet on the cricketfield opposite the Council depot what3words: parent.hoot.drum. We’ll be finished by 13.30.
