Four spindle trees have been planted at Cowm Reservoir in Whitworth, replacing two which were accidentally felled last year.
The original spindles (Euonymus europaeus) were felled when United Utilities’ staff were working to uncover the Yorkshire stone footpath alongside the bridleway.
When local resident, Sue Neilson reported this to the United Utilities’ manager, Dan Crolla, he agreed to replace the spindles as soon as possible.
Four spindles have now been planted to protect and enhance the natural environment at Cowm Reservoir. The saplings were planted by United Utilities’ Catchment Controllers, Dan Crook, Terry Warburton and Darren Mitchell, with members of the Whitworth in Bloom group: Sue Neilson, Steve Haigh and Sheila Dearden.
