Standard Bank planted 200 trees with us at Maughold a few days ago.
The team even undertook its own quality control by making sure tubes were upright and hammering in the stakes to a certain depth. This way saplings get the best chances to flourish. 💪
Afterwards the energetic bunch removed hundreds of plastic sleeves from juvenile trees that were planted on the field margins.💚 🌳
