Bristol Mini Wood Grows in a Day!
10 Feb
Summary
- Over 200 trees were planted in a single day.
- The new mini wood aims to connect people with nature.
- The planting creates a wildlife corridor for biodiversity.
A significant environmental effort unfolded in Southmead, Bristol, where over 200 trees were planted in a single day. This initiative, a collaboration between the Forest of Avon Trust and local volunteers, aims to establish a mini wood adjacent to the Greenway Centre.
The newly planted trees include indigenous species such as oak, hazel, beech, rowan, and wild cherry. Organizers envision this green space fostering a deeper connection between residents and the natural world, offering a calming influence and a much-needed natural retreat.
Beyond personal well-being, the mini wood is designed to function as a wildlife corridor. This corridor will link the community garden with the nearby Badock's Wood Nature Reserve, facilitating easier movement for local wildlife and bolstering biodiversity by increasing available shelter and food sources.
