On Tuesday 10th December the Hyndburn’s Woodlands Volunteers lent their hand to the TreeACTION Project’s newest site, the tree nursery allotment!

This site, once it is up and running, will be used to grow native provenance species which can be used around the district of Hyndburn for tree planting sessions! Trees with native provenance means that the seeds used to grow the trees have been collected from within the area they are to be planted at a later date. This ensured that local genetic compositions remain the same and helps preserve an areas biological heritage.

For the session, the woodland volunteers set about clearing the 7 sheds on the site. This was a tremendous effort with an incalculable amount of waste being removed from the buildings.

We are happy to say all the sheds are now clear and usable.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers for helping us get this site up and running, the future residents of Hyndburn will be in your debt for all the wonderful, locally grown trees they will enjoy in the future!

As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible
