Although a few of the seeds gathered will be planted straightaway, most will be taken to a nursery and grown on for planting on the site next year. However, there will be a chance for people to plant trees at Woodhouse Hill this year. Everybody is invited to a tree-planting event on Saturday 1 December. The trees will be mostly oak and birch that will thrive in the acidic soil. There will also be some rowan and alder buckthorn.
Alder buckthorn is a favourite food source for brimstone butterflies.
We'll provide the trees and guidance about how to plant them. Both events start at 11am and directions will be signposted from Shepherds Houses and The Ridgeway. On section you can use to publicise upcoming events. Or just keep in touch with friends and family and chat with Frodsham residents and ex-pats. Frodsham's own local newsletter is published six times a year by the town council.
