Our luck with planting weather finally ran out. Perhaps there is a law of averages, after all… Not excessive amounts of any of them, but wind, rain and 4C made for a trial of obduracy – which we passed!
Sunday February 8 saw our latest planting, this time at Ballabeg. On this occasion we planted 100 young aspens on behalf of Bernard Schulte Ship Management, one of our loyal company members.
150 more trees planted today near Lonan, so we’re up to just below 1300 trees in 11 sites so far this season. The weather looked unpromising, but we must be doing something right, as it was warm and windless – well, relatively so by Manx standards!
