Group members and young helpers planting an oak tree to mark

Antrobus being voted Cheshire Vibrant Village of the year 2006

 

The group is now in the 4th year of this project, for which it received the Cheshire Countryside Award 2003. To date 180 trees have been planted alongside roads and public rights of way. It is encouraging to see individual landowners also planting trees since the project began. Bluebells, primroses, red campion and other native wildflowers have been established in suitable locations. Current work involves planting trees, flowers and hedging along a 7 km themed walk in Antrobus and ongoing maintenance.

Many of the trees have been provided by Cheshire Landscape Trust, Mersey Forest and the local wholesale nursery, Wm. Boosey Ltd. This has enabled us to keep use of group funds at a low level.

New members are needed to participate in this and the other projects.
