New Family Tree Scheme at Fames Rough in Banstead, Surrey

摘要

This site owned by Surrey County Council and managed by the Downlands Project is surrounded by some excellent chalk grassland and ancient woodland. The new Family Tree Scheme area covers 20 acres. Some of these acres will be allowed to regenerate naturally with trees from Banstead Woods and some will be replanted, all planting will be of native trees. The first phase took place in the first three weeks of January with the major planting carried out on 16th January when 74 volunteers turned up, comprising the Mayoress of Reigate & Banstead, Legal & General Assurance staff, Priory School staff, pupils and parents, Croydon and Sutton Nature Conservation Volunteers, Thames Reach staff and volunteers and Youth Offenders programme.
