We are thrilled to be named as one of the National Trust’s 49 recipients of a ‘Trees of Hope’ Sycamore Gap sapling 🌳💚!
This big reveal takes place on the anniversary of the felling of the much-loved tree and our Biblins Youth Campsite will be the location for our sapling which was grown from the original trees seed.
Biblins is situated in mature ancient woodlands which are highly valued by visiting groups as well as members of the public who explore the numerous footpaths that weave through the site and immerse themselves in nature 🍂🐝. The site is a perfect location for one of the saplings where young Woodcraft Folk participants who were very upset to hear of the destruction of the Sycamore Gap Tree can learn about the importance of nature conservation.
Trees have been an important symbol in Woodcraft Folk’s 100-year history. The charity’s nature and environment principles encourage understanding, enjoyment and protection of our environment both locally and globally amongst our young members.
The arrival of the Sycamore Gap sapling represents hope and we can’t think of a more significant way to celebrate our centenary than planting the sapling as we look ahead to the future of the next 100 years of our youth work.
