Here at WestWon, we believe that our commitment to planet should also include us mucking in too. So, on Tuesday 6th of December five members of our sales team headed off to a local tree planting opportunity in our neighbouring town, Aylesbury.
Every month we have hundreds of trees planted on behalf of our clients and well as part of our climate positive workforce. But our team wanted to make direct impact, and they did exactly that!
Our sales team along with a group of fellow volunteers contributed to a local project. This was dedicated to adding 4,000 trees around Aylesbury and surrounding areas. We were so happy to be part of a local environmentally focused event. We can now proudly say that we have a variety of tree species growing on our very doorstep!
The Process
Step 1
With shovels in hand, our first job was to wedge a big enough hole open in the ground. It had to be deep enough for the roots to be placed underground and covered with enough soil.
Step 2
Once we had made an accommodating slot in the ground for our sapling, we then inserted it into its new home.
Step 3
Next was to pat down the soil around it so that the sapling couldn’t be ripped up by a peckish predator.
Step 4
Last but not least, we went round every tree once more and did some mulching. This is a layer of material placed over the soil. This would allow the tree to have the best chance of surviving.
