Woodland Walks
Sunday 11th October is officially Seed Gathering Sunday, even though the Tree Council have actually extended this ‘day’ to be a month long event (23rd Sept- 23rd October) as seasons are changing and to give people more of an opportunity to go out for walks, gather seeds and plant trees for the future. There are numerous organised events, with Walk Leaders and lots of information available. Visit www.treecouncil.org.uk, or call infoline: 020 7940 8180 for more details or visit www.treecouncil.org.uk where you can download tips and a helpful Seed Gathering Chart.
Tree-mendous
There are some great quotes about planting trees. Author, Nelson Henderson said, “The true meaning of life is to plant a tree under whose shade you never expect to sit”; A Chinese proverb advices, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is now.” And a lovely Welsh proverb teaches, “ A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible.”
