Our April planting at Ballyboughal Bridge Nature Reserve was attended by local residents, Fr Derek and his dog Sheba and local children. The children did geometric Art on stones to mark the trees
We planted ten trees including Willow, Crab Apple and Birch.
In March we also distributed 220 trees to local farmers and residents from Cornstown House, Bettyville, Parnellstown, and Drishogue.
Thank you to Trees on the land and Woodland Trust Northern Ireland for donating trees
