Hemyock

Hemyock was a smaller plot of land than we are used to planting at Protect Earth, but we are firm believers that, to steal a phrase from a popular supermarket, Every Little Helps. By planting these trees on this land, we are helping to encourage wildlife back to the area. Not only that, as the trees mature and grow, they’ll help stabilise the ground beneath them, suck up all that nasty CO2 in the air, and generally do great things. What more could you possibly ask for!

  • Survival Survey
  • 87% survival rate

A survey carried out at Hemyock shows very strong overall establishment across the site, with an estimated survival rate of around 87%.

Of the 210 planted trees, the site now supports the equivalent of approximately 230 trees, reflecting successful natural regeneration alongside planted stock. Survival rates vary slightly between areas, with around 95% in one section and 80% in the other.

Natural regeneration is also contributing positively to woodland development, with young oak, rowan and ash establishing from surrounding seed sources. This is helping to fill gaps and increase the diversity and resilience of the developing woodland.
