Colleagues from our Isle of Man office made their second visit this year to the Barroose area of the island, where they again helped plant saplings and repair the biodegradable tree ‘shelters’ which protect them. A team of nine generously volunteered their time across the course of two windy days, working with the Department for Environment, Food and Agriculture’s forestry team to bring the number of trees planted on the site to more than 1,000. A huge well done to all those who took part in this great effort! Pictured are John Ferguson, Bruce Parkinson, Crystell Moreno Oliva, Karolina De Gruchy, Paul Bray and Maritza Hernandez. Thanks also to Emma Mayhew and Neil Booth for taking part in this volunteering. #BarclaysIsleofMan #IsleofMan
