My Environmental Group are doing a fundraising for tools for our tree planting project - 25 trees in 25 farms in the Cornish Parish. Done 2 farms so far, should have another 10 lined up this winter.

The pictured ones are on the right side of the valley going up. The other ones mentioned are on the left side of the river.

This is fab @Chrisull. Maybe consider a call out for second hand tools with local charities that collects furniture from houses as well as connecting with a local charity that has tools to do a tool share? Also in my borough, my local council had collected a load of used tree protectors that we used.

We've already got a load of used protectors in my shed that I've been looking to use. I went to one of the Cornwall grant drop ins today and they basically said our shopping list for ladders (we're planting on farm hedgerows specifically to replace the Ash in hedgerows that we will lose) and tree spades would be covered as environmental groups and projects with strong plans, dates and measurable outcomes are exactly what they are looking for. Said they will get back to me later this week!!! Very pleased. |

And back to Octopus, I try to connect my GivEnergy inverter to the Octopus app and it keeps on saying it can't see it. Any had similar before I go to their tech support?

Glad to see a bit more forestry in the Dales, there's an awful lot of bare hillsides. |
