A short post to wish all our readers a very Happy New Year. Work at the nursery has been minimal over Christmas. I have had a few quiet walks through the field nursery to check our squirrel and rabbit population are not up to too much mischief amongst our young trees (and to walk off the Christmas chocolates!) I have been thrilled to see a hare on more than one occasion. Although they can cause catastrophic damage to a newly planted whip, hares are so rare around our farm it is a real treat to see up close such a beautiful animal. The team will be busy over the next few weeks putting in extra fencing to protect our trees but still allow wildlife to wander as they should. I look forward to keeping you all updated on nursery activities over the next 12 months.
Best wishes, Keith
