18 volunteers turned out on a very sunny Mothers Day to for a morning's tree planting in Cobham Wood, to help replace those lost and damaged in the 1987 storm and following years of fire damage and abuse.

This was an important contribution to a major programme of works that are restoring the historic wood pasture habitat of this historic landscape.

25 oak, hornbeam, and sweet chestnut trees were planted, and hopefully one day these will equal some of the trees planted by Humphry Repton 200 years ago!
