Dear friends, neighbours and Trustees

We have had a delivery of mulch in the field where we have been tree planting (on the north side of Curry Rivel - do ask if you need directions), and we now need to mulch each tree. Would you like to help? The work involves wheelbarrow and shovel/space to spread mulch round the trees. The ordered quantity was based on each tree receiving mulch to a half meter radius out from the stem, to a depth of 50mm. This needs doing as soon as possible now as the ground is drying up and we need to try and 'trap' some moisture in the ground. There are currently 460 trees to mulch! We need to keep some mulch in reserve for the 40 trees which the school children are planting on 17th March.

I will be there at 10am this Saturday for a few hours. You are welcome to join me then, or go at a time that suits you better. We can't actually organise an event because of Covid, so this is informal. But given the amount of space out there people can work safely apart from each other if they end up there at the same time.

Please could you bring your own barrow and spade (or bucket and spade if no barrow!)? And please feel free to tell a friend.

Thank you very much everyone
