Woodland Glade Restoration

The woodland glade has been a neglected part of the allotment site that is too shaded by mature trees to be used for cultivation. It had become a general dumping ground and was overgrown with brambles.

The area has been cleared and planted up with native woodland flowering plants. A path using wood chippings from some previous tree work has been laid out and some tree trunks used for seating. The photos below shows how the work progressing. It will take at least a couple of years for the new and uncovered plants to establish themselves.
