'ditching' and 'dolloping'



Making the most of the unusually dry weather we are currently preparing a 3 hectare site near Coventry for the next rotation of trees. The land was previously stocked with poplar and is a very wet site. To improve the site drainage for the young trees, ditches are being cut and the resulting spoil 'dolloped' to create raised individual planting stations. Alder, ash and oak trees will be planted in December.
