Girl Guides Plant Over 600 Trees

At the weekend, along with girls & leaders from Bothenhampton Guides, Charmouth Guides & West Dorset Rangers, the Broadwindsor Guides planted over 600 trees as part of the Queens canopy, by kind permission of the landowners at Downbarn Farm in Mosterton.
This also reinstated a county boundary (Dorset/Somerset) Hedgerow that was removed by previous land owners in the 1930’s.
They first learnt about the different types of trees and the benefits of planting new trees/hedges.

They worked really well, met new friends and thoroughly enjoyed hot chocolate and cake to warm them up!

Well done to all involved!

Sarcoscypha coccinea – Scarlet Elf Cup Photo: David Leader

The fungus shown in this photograph is the Scarlet Elf Cup (Sarcoscypha coccinea) – though not poisonous, it is considered inedible.  It can be spotted in several places throughout the common at this time.

We are so lucky to have this woodland on our doorstep – please help look after it and take any litter home.
