Green-fingered enthusiasts are being given the opportunity to grow their knowledge of seeds in Llangollen later this month.
Denbighshire
County Council’s biodiversity team is opening up their annual seed gathering
work to those interested in making a difference for their own local
environment.
Currently it
is the Seed Gathering Season campaign, organised by the Tree Council to inspire
people with the right permission to gather seeds, fruits and nuts and grow the
trees of the future.
The council
has arranged a number of seed collecting days which will see seeds gathered and
grown at the St Asaph based Tree Nursery as part of the continuing work to
improve local biodiversity in Denbighshire.
Once grown the
trees will be planted at Denbighshire woodland sites to maintain and improve
species richness across the county.
The seed
collecting days are set to take place at various woodland and estates across
the county which will enable collection from veteran and ancient trees and some
uncommon species not regularly found.
On some of the
sites the team will also be joined by local countryside rangers who will be
able to help people learn more about the area and the past environmental
history.
The seed
gathering days include:
- Weds 5th
Oct Coed Collfryn
- Weds 11th
Oct Loggerheads
- Weds 19th
Oct Chirk

Cllr Barry
Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “ We have had some
fantastic volunteers helping us so far with our biodiversity work and I would
really encourage anyone with an interest in growing trees or wanting to learn
more to take up this opportunity.”
