Volunteers are invited to join us for more tree planting and forestry maintenance.
Two thirds of the Chisholme estate consists of woodland, now being replanted with a range of native species – oak, birch, alder, rowan, crab-apple and wild cherry as well as more shrubby species- hazel, hawthorn, yew and holly. The young trees were planted by hand, staking and tying and protecting them with forestry shelters – all of which adds to the ecology and beauty of the estate.
