Tree Planting with NFU Mutual
Through our partnership with NFU Mutual, we hosted an environmental event for 15 dedicated individuals from the company to plant trees at our nature reserve, contributing to its preservation and enhancement.
The group planted an impressive 550 trees to complete the hedgerow surrounding our orchard area. A mix of Hawthorn, Dogwood, Silver Birch, Rowan, and Hazel were planted for their ecological benefits to support local wildlife and enhance the biodiversity of the reserve.
The team's efforts didn't stop there. They rolled up their sleeves and applied wood preserver to our beloved BBQ cabin and gazebos to ensure these structures will remain protected from the elements for years to come.
We are immensely grateful to everybody who joined us on the day for their brilliant efforts and NFU Mutual for their ongoing support as our partners. Their commitment to sustainability and community wellbeing mirrors our own values, and together, we’re creating positive change.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our day tree planting with the Forest of Hearts. It was well organised, and it feels great to give back to the local community and the good work they do. Looking forward to more volunteering days with Forest of Hearts”
