The Deer in Wollaton Park are herbivores and eat most things. This includes tree saplings. When new trees are planted, they are often protected from the Deer by wire guards. As the trees mature, the guards need to be removed.
Over 100 self-set Hawthorns were transplanted from Digby Avenue into Formal Garden, to make a hedge to keep the deer out.
On Saturday 19th November, 10 hardy volunteers repaired large sections of chestnut fencing in the Cambridge Road field. Also hundreds of daffodils were planted around the memorial benches ready for spring.
