Tree planting, Onion Farm, Burley
Yesterday we helped Forest of Bradford plant a hedgerow at Onion Farm in Burley. Trees included hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel and Viburnum opulus (guelder rose). We notch planted, staked and guarded 100's of trees for what will be a stockproof hedge in a few years. The weather was drizzly but it wouldn't have felt like the Christmas task without it! Our own Nik "Mears" fetched the brew kit and got the Kelly Kettle fire going despite the rain. The brews were much appreciated all round. And then it was off to the pub with the first round kindly financed by the farm owner. A few more drinks in Bradford rounded off a fine day's work.

The drizzle must have clouded my otherwise perfect pronunciation - the plant was not laburnam but Viburnum opulus (guelder rose)- lovely large white/cream flower leading to jewel like fruits.
Have a good Christmas and new year.
Had a positive meeting with the university and developer…although there is still time for more to change it is looking pretty positive at the moment.
