The Woodland Trust visited Milntown to assist with the rejuvenation of the property’s woodland.
Vivienne Barnett and Graham Lamb-Shine from the Woodland Trust and the Milntown garden team were joined by some enthusiastic helpers from the Bunscoill Rhumsaa S.T.A.R. Centre.
Between them they planted approximately 70 native trees and shrubs including Hazel, Spindle Tree, Bird Cherry, Gelder Rose, Hawthorn, Wild Plum, Sweet Chestnut, Field Maple, Rowan and Oak.
With the poor weather and high winds the woodland at Milntown had been badly damaged and a number of trees and shrubs had to be removed.
The woodland redevelopment will continue year on year and all the staff at Milntown thanked the Woodland Trust for their continued support of the estate.
The Milntown gardens and woods are open for the 2016 season. Entrance to the gardens costs £3.50 per adult (£3 concessions, £1 child). Season tickets are available for £14 per person.
