Volunteers planting trees on rough ground with hills and blue sky in the background.
Huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who braved 45mph winds, hail, sleet and even the occasional burst of sunshine to plant 400 native trees at the Aline Community Woodland on the #IsleofLewis! 🌧️
The newly planted trees came from a #WoodlandTrust free tree pack 👉️ buff.ly/l0eA4pM 🌳💚🌳
