Here are a few pictures from a wild and windy tree planting day.  A small group of volunteers braved strong winds and snow to plant 150 birch trees at the top end of the Carrifran valley.

                                           Here is the Carrifran valley viewed from the viewpoint near the car park.

                                             The group on their way up the steep, snow covered side of the valley.

                                   Some group members get on with planting while others head for higher ground.

                                  A tree from a previous planting is thriving in the harsh conditions of the higher slopes.

                                    After a successful tree planting the group have lunch in and around a wee hut.

                                         Looking from the hut back up the hillside where the trees were planted.

                                                       We pose for a photo on the way back down.
