Writtle College Reservoir Woodland Planting Project in conjunction with ITF and Wyevale Transplants has been made possible by a very kind donation to ITF for tree planting in the Essex area. The project is now enetering its concluding phase. Charlotte Power at Writtle College involved in the project said:
“The woodland planting project so far as been very successful and we have planted 4,000 native trees and shrubs this year during a very cold February with the assistance of over 60 First Diploma and National Diploma students. Using a mixture of pit and notch planting methods all trees were root dipped with mycorrhizal fungi and protected using spiral rabbit guards.
Next year we intend to plant a similar number of trees to increase the extent of our woodland to create a wildlife corridor to link the Reservoir planting to existing hedgerows and fields. We are indebted to ITF for their support to Writtle College in helping us create this fantastic new woodland habitat.”
