Sustainability in Action - Hackney Style

The season's winter work began in earnest this weekend with dedicated environmental do gooders doing good in Wick Wood and on Hackney Downs. On Sat a hard core of HMUG veterans built a stylish 'S' shaped 50m dead hedge in a clearing in the woods. Plenty more sustainable housing for wood mice, wrens, mini beasts and fungi. A lovely mild sunny morning made the work much more like play. Then today TMs were out on the Downs planting hornbeam and native black poplars and filling in gaps in a hedge with dogwood and buckthorn. The black pops were grown at the community tree nursery on the marshes from cuttings taken in Wick Woodland in 2005. Around 40 of these rare native trees have been planted in Hackney in the last 5 years. If you know a space big enough for a really big tree we still have about 30 in the nursery looking for good homes.
