Our team recently joined Transition Chesterfield’s Eco Hub, where we had the opportunity to share our project and raise awareness about the devastating impact of ash dieback on beloved areas of the Peak District Dales.
We conducted an interactive workshop, showcasing our approach to selecting tree species for planting. Our selection criteria encompass various factors, such as the habitat conditions they create, the diversity of species they can support, and their ability to serve as substitutes for ash trees. Additionally, we prioritise species that are well-suited to the site’s conditions and have historically grown there, aiming to restore the site to its original ecological state.
By sharing our project with the public and site managers, we not only raise awareness about the devastating impact of ash dieback, but also foster a sense of community engagement and responsibility towards preserving our natural environment. This collaboration allows us to gather valuable input and feedback, ensuring that our work aligns with the needs and aspirations of the local community and contributes to the long-term restoration of the site.
