 Dawn Redwoods 2007 |
| A remarkable and unexpected discovery of thirty young Dawn Redwood trees of around ten-years-old. They are planted in a line between two roundabouts along Bournes Green Chase. According to an article in the Essex Gazette on Tuesday 2nd Feb 1999, "An army of green-fingered volunteers armed themselves with spades and wellies to create an environmental haven in Thorpe Bay. Young and old dug deep in Bournes Green Chase to create a green corridor by planting young trees and native wildflowers in abundance. Wildlife and environmental groups teamed up with members of Shoebury and Thorpe Bay residents association to try to improve the environment and encourage wildlife in the area." It would be interesting to hear from anyone who was part of that "green army" and if it was, indeed, when the Dawn Redwoods were planted. |
