Woman Plants Thousands of Trees after Buying Fell
Thousands of trees have been planted on a fell after it was bought by a community interest company that plans to turn it into a nature reserve.
Sally Phillips bought Low Fell in the Lake District three years ago through her company Buy Land Plant Trees.
A woodland has been created and about 275,000 trees have been planted so far.
Ms Phillips, from Workington, Cumbria, said the conservation work did not just involve trees but was “about having a patchwork of different habitat types”.
Low Fell sits above Loweswater on the western fringes of the Lakes and has a summit just under 1,400ft (427m).
