Replanting of the trees on Todd Crag
Some years ago a number of trees were planted in protective cages in the Lily Tarn area.
Only 25% have thrived. A project to identify the failures and replant with new ones was initiated, 50 native species trees were acquired from a public trust and with the farmers permission, volunteers planted them.
