Pembroke's school children have recently been busy planting trees. A total of 500 trees have been provided with funding from the International Tree Foundation for planting in the newly-regenerated Holyland Woodland bordering Pembroke's Upper Mill Pond. A mix of hornbeam, rowan, walnut, sweet chestnut, birch and lime specimen trees have been planted in the newly-landscaped car park which is the entrance to the site. Children from Cosheston VC School, Orielton CP School and Golden Grove Community School planted oak, ash and lime bare root saplings in the tree nursery as well as some specimen holly trees in the car park area. They each labelled their trees and received a planting certificate as a permanent record. "Trees are the most enduring living things on earth and by planting them we leave a legacy for years to come," said Gareth Jones, chair of Pembroke 21C Community Association which manages the woodland. "We hope that this will create a permanent link between the schools and the woodland and that the children will come year after year to watch their trees grow." Funding for the regeneration of the woodland came from Cydcoed, a Forestry Commission projected funded by the European Union and the Welsh Assembly Government. The woodland entrance is at Kingsbridge on Holyland Road. With permissive pathways and a boardwalk to the edge of the Upper Mill Pond, it is open for the general public to use and enjoy.
