Volunteers Brave The Weather For Tree Planting

Foresters Stuart McArtney and Sam Guthrie have been out at Cocksburn Reservoir, working alongside a fantastic group of volunteers as part of a three-day tree-planting effort led by Scottish Water.

Despite some challenging weather, the event was a real success, with around 1,300 trees planted across Thursday to Saturday.

Friday saw 10 volunteers and six supporting staff braving the elements to plant approximately 780 trees, with the welfare unit providing a very welcome warm-up and lunch spot. The turnout and enthusiasm from volunteers – and the overwhelmingly positive reaction from members of the public passing by – highlighted just how much support there is for projects like this.
