We are clearly exceeding in each category and while the loss of one point is a little galling it gives us something to aim for in the next inspection!

Dean selected an area called Wouldham Lower and, to meet his shade tolerant request, the trees included 35 Beech, 20 Holly, 10 Yew and 35 Hazel. Essex Wildlife Trust’s Corporate Communications Officer Grant Maton also came along to lend his support.
