In line with enhancing biodiversity, we are hoping to plant a series of oaks, willows and some fruit trees - all native species to widen the area of woodland in the northeast corner of our field and to give us some edible fruits. The dream is develop habitat that supports more species and one that might even tempt the purple emperor butterfly to take up residence. Hoping to be able to source saplings through the Woodland Trust. 

122 mixed saplings suitable for hedging with some specimens species have been donated through the Woodland Trust scheme and were planted with the help of Lynsted and Norton Primary School in 2023. We hope to be able to source more hedging in order to plant a protective hedge around the bee hive area.
