New trees planted at Idle Valley reserve in Retford
Funds for the trees were raised through the Park Plaza chain’s Save Tomorrow’s Trees Today initiative.
The trees will eventually provide a source of income when timber from them is sold to make cricket bats.

Erin McDaid, the trust’s head of communications & marketing, said: “Our partnership with Park Plaza Hotels & Resorts and OAKS is a great example of local companies providing us with the flexibility we need to invest in our wildlife conservation work.
“This will help us generate sustainable future income whilst also creating a valuable habitat for wildlife.
“We are keen to develop long-term income to enable us to care for our nature reserves and support our campaigns.
“By re-planting an area of woodland with native species and planting a number of cricket bat willows we can not only provide great new habitat for wildlife
“We can also look forward to a sustainable income from the sale of timber in years to come.”
