St Albans Soroptimists marked World Environment Day with a guided walk for members and friends (including the 4 legged variety
!) in Heartwood Forest, near Sandridge. The Woodland Trust has the opportunity to create the largest native forest in England. On the walk we learnt that 300,000 trees have already been planted and another 300,000 will be planted.
The photos are of Pound Wood, ancient woodland where Heartwood got its name from the heart shaped leaves of the lime trees in that wood and a view across the poppy fields when we came out of the woods.
