🌳 Tree Watch | You've probably noticed (particularly our followers in Cottingham Road area!) that the great leaf drop is beginning.

As the leaves fall to the ground, they provide a vital resource for the ecosystem decomposing to enrich the soil and shelter wildlife.

Top work and superb effort from the whole team and everyone who has helped us construct the steps in Whitecliff Woods!

This has been far from easy; long days and massive effort have been needed.

Well done all, and a great team effort!👍👏

🍂 Maples are showing off their vivid reds,
🍂 Rowans flaunt their clusters of scarlet berries.
🍂 Birch trees, with their paper-thin bark, are turning a golden yellow, creating a striking contrast.
