Further planting at wood

Volunteers gathered at the Jubilee Wood last Tuesday for the ‘One Million Trees in One Day’ scheme.

The project is a charitable, cross-border, community and environmental initiative which will plant a million young native trees at many different sites across both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The locally planted trees will be a mixture of oak, common alder, common birch, whitethorn, blackthorn, mountain ash, willow and Scot’s pine.

The new additions follow a large number of saplings already planted at the wood in recent weeks, most recently 200 apple trees on February 23.
