About five years ago Tracy and I helped a friend plant up a field with trees as part of a plan to introduce woodland into a part of Warwickshire that has very little. On Sunday we were invited to a barbeque in a clearing in the wood with many others who also helped. It was great to see how the fruits of all the hard work have come on and comforting to think we had played a small part in offsetting some of our carbon usage while having a good time with friends.
