For the second year in a row, Environment Trust volunteers have helped to increase the tree cover in Kingston to provide additional habitat for wildlife, and to help tackle the effects of climate change, and at Manor Park, our efforts will help to offset the destruction of a piece of woodland by a inconsiderate private landowner. Volunteers from Marymount International School, Kingston, and Tower House School, Sheen, helped plant over 200 new trees to supplement existing woodland. This will help to consolidate the existing woodland, and will also hopefully ensure that the new trees are less vulnerable than the trees that were planted at Churchfields Recreation Ground in November 2012. A short section of hedge was also planted along the perimeter fence, to screen out the railway embankment, although it'll take several years before the plants are large enough to do this effectively. Eventually, it is hoped that this section of hedge may be laid.
Students from Tower House School, Sheen, plant trees at Manor Park.
Girls from Marymount International School brave the rain to add another tree.
It's all about teamwork.
The end result will improve this rather patchy woodland.
The Tower House boys also planted a short section of hedge.
