Inspirations
Last Summer, when acquiring a wood was a dream, I took time to visit a range of woods that I could find on maps which are located in a sea of grazed land. I found it inspiring to experience the difference that a woodland made on a hot summer's day and to see the difference in biodiversity with different types of woodland. Since then I have read a lot and listened to experts. I need to develop a detailed planting plan so am trying to bring together my learning. Seeing other people’s planting plans coming into being is inspiring :- I have been lucky enough to join the South Lakes Woodlanders who are a group of like- minded people who are improving their own land or that owned by others - widening biodiversity and nurturing land in the south lakes for future generations. Visiting other members' land has helped me to visual what is possible and learn about different approaches. Planting successes Trees planted in 2019 and photographed in 2021 Dog wood
