Have any of you ever been to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh? We are about to plant a brand new woodland in partnership with them - yippeeeeeee!

Tree Amigos...up for the challenge?

gus@trees4scotland.com — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100

Calling all Tree Amigos...it is time to get all creative and learn about all things to do with TREES!

Over the next few months we will be planting lots of trees while you guys learn about climate change, carbon footprints, trees and woodland wildlife.

Then you get the chance to come and plant some for yourselves.

Are you up for the challenge?

Teaglach Woods

P6 from Whitecrook Primary had a great time at Teaglach woods with Angus.
Planting trees was ace,luckily I never fell while I was jumping on the shovel.
We were very lucky because we managed to glimpse the rare red kite.My favourite bit was being able to hold the cute little collie puppies, after the long and tiring walk up the hill.Oh man.
If you have still to go then let the excitement build.
Have a great time

After that we got on the bus and went to Teaghlagh woods to have our lunch and then plant some oak trees!
We had to put a tree protector over the tree and we had to hammer the stake into the ground with a mallet to to stop the tree protector from coming off!
Next we had a short walk to a farm house to see the new born puppies. We did so many di [...]

Yesterday we visited Tealagh farm. We got to go on the shaky bridge! We enjoyed planting some trees, Angus helped us plant the trees. We went on a walk and saw Copper the dog,some sheep, cows and lambs. It took about an hour and a half to get there on the bus and we stayed therefor the whole day. It was a great day and we would like to go again!
