The development of a corner of the Londale playing field into a small woodland area began in the autumn of 2006. For a few years prior to securing this site, Dratituna Trees were actively involved with the local schools planting acorns in the tree nursery located at the infant school. In November 2006 the first saplings were planted, which not only included the small oaks grown by the children but a range of other native trees and shrubs including, ash, field maple, cherry, dogwood, spindle, goat willow, elder, privet and gelder rose. A community planting day also helped to ensure all the young trees and shrubs were safely planted.
In November 2007 a second planting event was completed adding to the already established trees and shrubs in the area. Once again the local community and school children assisted in the planting.
A third planting event is planned for November 2008.
