Our New ‘Green’ Tunnel

We planted many Beech trees 🌳🌳🌳 several years ago with the hope of making a tunnel once they reached the correct height.
As the trees are now reaching a useful height, over the last few weeks, Tom & Graham and others have been creating 💪🏻 a support structure which will allow the trees to be shaped into a tunnel shape over the next few years.
The plastic hoop structure is reinforced with steel rods and will support the trees as, over time, they are pulled into the required shape.

In the near future this will give us a very interesting back straight with the green steel tunnel entrance leading into the mixed coloured live tree tunnel.  It already looks pretty enticing.

Thank you 🙏 to everyone involved, including Cairnhill for the donation of the hoop reinforcing steel rods.

See you hooting 📯in the tunnels soon 🛤️
