As it’s #NationalTreeWeek we are highlighting the beauty of Maidenbrook Country Park and the Somerset Wood, that just 3 years ago were bare land and are now home to a poignant memorial to the fallen and over 3,500 volunteer planted trees, with wildlife pond and forest school areas on their way.

To get involved in tree planting, please contact Jo Pearson on somersetwood@outlook.com and for more information on overall plans for this important green wedge visit https://westmonkton.net/maidenbrook-country-park-and…/
