Students plant 500 trees to create ‘woodland corridor’ at land-based North Wales college
Hundreds of trees have been planted by students to help create a ‘woodland corridor’ at a land-based college.
As part of Coleg Cambria’s award-winning sustainability programme – in partnership with the Woodland Trust – the copse at Northop includes a mixture of hawthorn, goat willow, downy birch and crab apple trees.
The Flintshire site was chosen so two existing areas of mature woodland could be united, allowing birds and wildlife to move easily between them and enhance the area’s biodiversity.
The trees arrived complete with recyclable canes and spirals for protection, and the half-acre of planting was overseen by Jenny Jones, the college’s Grounds Officer.
