We plan to plant a mixture of native woodland species. We have selected the following three sites for possible planting: (Please also see maps below with planting areas highlighted in red):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kilborn Park : It would be great to continue with the planting we did last year in this park. There\u2019s still plenty of space and we plan to plant another 500 whips here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gainsborough Drive: Planting along the right-side edge of the greenspace alongside the existing trees. This would include around 300 trees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brickhill Road: Planting along the line of existing trees to create a graded woodland edge habitat. This would include approximately 200 trees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"411\" data-id=\"4098\" src=\"https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kilborn-Park-Tree-Planting-24-25s.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kilborn-Park-Tree-Planting-24-25s.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kilborn-Park-Tree-Planting-24-25s-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kilborn Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"384\" data-id=\"4099\" src=\"https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gainsborough-Drive-Tree-Planting-24-25s.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gainsborough-Drive-Tree-Planting-24-25s.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gainsborough-Drive-Tree-Planting-24-25s-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gainsborough Drive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" data-id=\"4097\" src=\"https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Brickhill-Road-Tree-Planting-24-25s.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Brickhill-Road-Tree-Planting-24-25s.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/Brickhill-Road-Tree-Planting-24-25s-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brickhill Road<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We are looking to plant the trees in the New Year on the third Saturday of each month, please join us at our planting trees events  from 10am till 1pm on the following dates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kilborn Park (500 trees) \u2013 Saturday 18<sup>th<\/sup> January<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gainsborough Drive (300 trees) \u2013 Saturday 15<sup>th<\/sup> February<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brickhill Road (200 trees) \u2013 Saturday 15<sup>th<\/sup> March<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Come and plant a tree \u2013 The trees will be a mixture of hawthorn, dogwood, wild cherry, silver birch, rowan and hazel, bring your spades and join in from 10am!
