Manx Wildlife week is coming up and we are amazed how many events there are! 🤩On the 3rd of May, Manx Wildlife Trust's David Bellamy is going to lead a Morning Bird Walk at one of our sites called Centenary Park, Onchan.
Do you want to know more about the species we plant?
Elder can be often found in our planting mix. Insects love it and you often hear birds among the black elder berries. Did you know that you can make cordial or alcholic fizz with its white flowers?
Elder stems are greyish-brown with opposite 'messy' buds. When grown, its bark becomes deeply grooved and furrowed. Elder leaves are compound with 5-7 on each stalk. Elder loves fertile soils (wet and dry) and is tolerant of part shade and wind.
All of us here at The Isle of Man Woodland Trust are delighted to welcome Imvelo Candle Co as returning Bronze Supporters of our cause. Not only do their locally produced candles smell delicious and burn beautifully but they offer a substantial discount if you refill your empty Imvelo candle jars with them.
Many thanks for your continued support, lovelies! Here's to even more new trees in Manx soil once planting season starts again in the Autumn! ~IOMWT
Great work Acclaim!
Our thanks also goes to our regulars Tony and Steve for setting up & guiding.
~Last trees planted this season! Next season starts in October.
During the summer we have occasional shelter removal or bracken bashing sessions.
