Tree Project Update October 2022

Phase 2 was completed with the planting of oak trees by the lakes and in the open parkland, and groups of trees to screen the netball and MUGA courts. The trees by the courts were funded by the North London Netball League to commemorate 70 years in Broomfield Park. We were very pleased to help place a memorial plaque in the ground by the central group of trees.

As the new year started, and it became clear that we might be in for an exceptionally dry year, and we moved on to the third phase of the project with regular deep root watering and weeding around the tree bases and managing our ‘tree nursery’ with oak trees grown from local acorns. The watering represented a huge task, continued by many volunteers through the Spring and Summer. Thanks again to all the volunteers involved in supporting this and to Jenny Baer and family for looking after the trees by the children’s playground throughout.
