Conservation work

This morning we went to the Culverden Reserve to help plant 1000 plants and trees.
We were shown how to do it properly. I had nice warm gloves with and Mum bought garden gloves that we could wear over our warm ones so our hands were not too cold. It was a really cold day.
Mum helped with digging holes and planting. The digging was quite hard. I could not use the big spade nicely. I made one hole and it was just too hard so I did not make any more.
There were 9 Brownies / Guides / Rangers and 4 mothers who came to help. So we got so much done really quickly. The man phoned the lady who was coming from town and said "if you don't get here soon there won't be any plants left to plant they are going so quickly".
Our Guiding group with 2 local helpers.
