Woodland Biodiversity Planting

Over 50 volunteers helped to deliver our project funded by a grant from Islington Giving’s Make It Happen Fund. We prepared the ground, clearing away ivy, cutting logs from fallen tree trunks, digging in lots of new compost, spreading donated woodchip. We planted over 200 new shrubs, herbaceous perennials and ground cover in the area around the woodland table.
