Fingers crossed they will grow to be large and healthy oak trees! When they reach 30-50cm tall they will be planted in and around Hyndburn. @woodnookprimar1 @HyndburnCouncil (3/3)

The group kept moving as to not over-pick one area, and any 'duds' were put back into the woodland for wildlife. Helen brought these acorns to Tinker Brook nursery, where they were planted by service users of the Bootstrap Community Projects. (2/3)

Last week Woodnook Primary School's Year 3s helped our Community TreeACTION Officer Helen collect acorns from their local Jubilee Woodland 🌰🌳 As you can see by the yeild, the children were amazing at picking acorns! (1/3)
