Last week's volunteer days were at Gerrards Cross to support the Tree Council’s Rail Roots project! Volunteers enjoyed a carousel of activities, including hedgerow fruit tree planting and fruit tree training; wildflower meadow maintenance, and the creation of new habitat sites for local wildlife - including dead hedges, habitat stacks and willow nesting pockets!
The Tree Council’s Rail Roots initiative supports environmental regeneration in several railway stations across the UK, and we’re grateful to Chiltern Railways’ Community Investment Fund for supporting the project at Gerrards Cross and other local stations. The project provides a great way to engage members of the public with the main benefits of tree growing in their local area and focuses on increasing biodiversity and canopy cover for local wildlife as well as creating greener, healthier spaces for the public to enjoy.
Thank you to all our partners who joined us! heylo, Kind & Co, Kiwa UK, Ground Control, NFU Mutual, Network Rail, LaSalle Investment Management
