Curry Woods Conservation Trust.

I visited the wood this morning to check its progress. 

Probably 90% of the new trees planted earlier this year are growing in their plastic guards, based on a quick survey. some are growing well and out of their guards others are looking alive but not showing much growth and a few are looking dead.

I counted several Ragwort plants growing well  and some thistles too. So maybe we need to control those. Of course as the new trees grow they will do the controlling for us. But in the area left as grass for perhaps hay making there will be a concern.

I'll add some photos soon.
