Today we were helping to plant trees in the woods. Angus showed us what we needed to do to make sure the trees have the best chance of growing up to be big, strong trees. Today we planted wild cherry trees and some silver birch.
We hammered in stakes beside the trees and covered them with a tree guard to keep them safe from nibbling mice, rabbits and deer.
We put our names on the tree guards and will be able to go and visit our trees and see how much they have grown.

Planting trees is the first task we need to do to complete our Junior Forester award. Only 5 more to go!
