A day out to Migdale with Trees for Life
Today I was lucky enough to tag along on the Trees for Life staff day out to Ledmore and Migdale woods, somewhere I went to earlier in the year.
This time it was a relatively warm day, and the loch, Loch Migdale, wasn’t frozen. It was good to meet up with Chris, from the Woodland Trust, again, and share some thoughts with him regarding his recent week Focalising. And it was a good opportunity for me to spend some time with the TFL staff on a more informal basis.
Chris really does have the ideal job (from my perspective). On the one hand he has a relatively free reign to manage the woodland habitat, and on the other he is tasked with encouraging people of all ages to visit and appreciate the woods, something he seems to do very well. The woods are a mix of mostly middle aged to young trees, with some fabulous regeneration in some areas and very little non-native intrusion. There are also some very fine old Aspen trees, see photos below.
