The trees of the future can be collected in Pembrokeshire on Sunday, October 10, which has been designated by the Tree Council as 'Seed Gathering Day'. For that day, PLANED has teamed up with the National Trust, the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales and tree officers from the National Park Authority to organise visits to three special woodland venues. These are Colby Woodland Garden, near Stepaside, managed by the National Trust; Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort, near Eglwyswrw, which is run by the National Park, and the Welsh Wildlife Centre at Cilgerran. All of these are excellent places to gather native woodland seeds. Tree specialists will be on hand to advise on how to propagate a variety of seeds and how to get involved in tree schemes. The Colby and Castell Henllys woodland visits are from 10 am to 3 pm, while the time at the Welsh Wildlife Centre - a great site for collecting native acorns - is from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm. Said Sue Mackie, of PLANED: "If you fancy a healthy walk in the autumn air and the chance to pick up lots of information, advice and some seeds, then come and join us. Bring a packed lunch and come dressed for the weather. "Everyone can learn about the ecology of woodlands, tree recognition, seed collecting, propagation and aftercare of the trees of the future."
