Planting 10 moderate sized trees which will need support stakes and a protective fence. DaveH task leader. Needs spades, hammers, wire cutters, post rammer, spirit Level, knife to cut plant bags. Be prepared for muddy fields and a tour of the farm.

The day will also involve assembling a double-sized animal shelter. Needs step ladders (4), step-up, drill/drivers, chalk string line. The farm can provide 2 trestles and ladders. The structure will stand in a scalpins area so the ground is hard and dry. Breaks to be taken at the work location or in the nearby roundhouse. May require overtime to complete, please.

Trees will be moved to planting locations by farm staff.
