A CONSERVATION group in Sparsholt have been getting their hands dirty again.

At their recent work day the Ham Green Volunteers planted around 100 small trees which were donated by the Woodland Trust.

It was part of Tree Planting Week, and included Silver Birch, Hazel, Dogwood, Blackthorn, Hawthorn and Rowan. It is hoped the trees will attract birds as part of a new wildlife hedge.
