Today our local countryside ranger, David Preston, led a team of four enthusiastic volunteers working in Buckstone Fields where there is a mature apple tree which needed a bit of love and care. Meeting at 10 am at the Slabbering Baby entrance to the woods on Buckstone Road, they worked till 2 pm.
David led the team in pruning the tree to remove dead wood and open it out, in thinning the birch trees around the apple tree, and making stakes (for future use) and habitat piles with the offcuts.
This event was arranged by Alwoodley 2030 rather than Friends of Adel Woods but two of the volunteers are also members of FOAW.
Thank you to David and all the volunteers for doing a great job!
Alwoodley 2030 is a group of local people living, working or frequently spending time in Alwoodley, Leeds who care deeply about climate and biodiversity and aim to take action to make Alwoodley zero-carbon, and to look after our local habitats and eco-systems.
