Discoveries – Tree Planting

Our Discoveries tutor, Brechtje organised as part of One Tree Per Child for the children to visit Eastwood Farm in Brislington to plant some trees. This was supported by the Friends of Eastwood Farm and we’d like to thank them for all their assistance and skill sharing.

The group planted a mix of native trees including Rowan, Silver Birch, Wild Cherry and Oak. They helped with all aspects of the planting from digging the holes, planting and mulching.

Some of the Friends of Eastwood Farm were looking for harvest mice nests during the planting session and the children were lucky enough to be shown a sleeping nest and a maternity nest. The didn’t see any harvest mice but they enjoyed seeing their different homes.

We all look forward to visiting again in the Spring to see how the trees are developing.
