How are we doing and the challenges ahead.
Update: 31 January 2023
The Stonesfield Tree Group has now planted 336 trees and hedging plants.
This photo shows the final planting of 62 trees on the Ruddy Lane footpath off The Ridings. This is Ditchley land and they gave us five wild service trees to plant.
As you go up the Oxfordshire Way, off Laughton Hill, you can also see the trees planted along the ridge and the hedge laying.
The challenge ahead is to support the trees over the first years, we have been given a figure of 30% for trees that fail to grow. This will be largely down to lack of water in the dry spells in the summer. We will be looking for your help with watering- more details will follow later in the spring.
