Tree Planting at Mareham Pastures Local Nature Reserve - Sleaford Target

ONE DOWN ... 799 to go! Planting trees at Mareham Pastures Local Nature Reserve ... On Sunday 13th February, local volunteers braved near gale force winds and planted more than 800 trees at Mareham Pastures Local Nature Reserve. A former landfill site situated between Mareham Lane and Southfields residential development, Sleaford.

Zoë Watson, Secretary of the Friends of Mareham Pastures said: ‘it is excellent to see how quickly this site has progressed over the past year, thanks to the commitment of local volunteers. In addition is it wonderful to see younger members of the community getting involved in this project’.

The whole site is being transformed into a Local Nature Reserve, which will be an ideal haven for wildlife and a pleasant place for people to enjoy. Recently a hard path has been laid making this site more accessible to visitors. Eventually there will be new areas of woodland, wildflower meadows and information boards. Much of the work is being undertaken by the local community, who have also provided many of the ideas
