Treeplanting in Calderdale

Went out for a weekends tree planting with 'Treesponsibility'. Folks from the local area, Leeds, Nottingham contributed their labour at Lower Benthead Farm about 5 miles north of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

OS Ref SD967294

 http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=396720&y=429480&z=3&sv=396500,429500&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&dn=841

Treesponsibility in Calderdale is a not-for profit community group, based on mutual accountability and consensus. They have a small 'core' group of members with a wider circle of people who subscribe to our newsletter and turn up to tree plantings. So far, managed to plant about 40,000 trees and hedge plants.

The two picture 'strips' at the end of this entry, are designed to show you the stages of effecient tree planting. There is lots to do.

 http://treesponsibility.com

They aim to:-
1. encourage, empower and enable people to take responsibility for their own carbon dioxide emissions through tree-planting, as one urgent response to climate change

2. bring back our lost woodlands and hedgerows to increase biodiversity

3. spread the idea and practice of land-connectedness, co-operation and community as a possible future, and the most sensible way out of the present environmental crisis. We can each choose not to contribute to global warming. Instead, we can contribute to climate change of a rather different kind - a shift towards connectedness, community and love of the land. We also intend to have fun, while we're doing all this!

They, and groups like them, need more voluteers. So, please get involved. Find what you can do in your own areas!

Planted for Climate Change?

25.01.2005 10:01

Nice Pictures. But no mention of varieties being planted. In view of climate change and the new diseases that are appearing, it might be wise to source a wide mixture of trees from as far apart as the Mediteranean and Alaska in climate terms.

And consider a wide variety of uses. What will make really nice furniture, what will be durable for building, and have the right strength to build boats. And what will provide an edible crop meanwhile. (My last planting were selected varieties of Walnut)

Meanwhile scour the boot sales for hand powered tools so that the crop can be used after the industrial economy collapses. -as it must if there is to be any survival of mamalian life, though it may already be too late. It is worth a gamble, though such tools might already be collectors' pieces.

We plant 'em. They saw them down

We plant 'em. They saw them down

Earlier entries on Indymedia and hebdenbridge.co.uk, may give an idea as to why we need to accelerate planting. People protest and attempt to stop [by law and protest], yet more environment destruction by nerds! The other side of the coin is of course, trying to ameliorate just some of their damage, by us planting more than they fell. If only tree grew quicker.

Yea, sawing trees down all over the place ...... Like Hebden Bridge 'Battle of the Mill Pond' at:  http://www.hebdenbridge.co.uk/news/news04/46.html

Nice pics of planting. Good on you all.
For more pictures, what yer man Tash has done at a Nottinghamshire tree protest in Sherwood Forest, check out another Indymedia entry at:  http://indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/12/302471.html

All looks a bit heavy to me.
