Adelina Wood

ADELINA WOOD

This wood was the inspiration of Enid Gautier who kindly donated the field for the purpose of creating a community woodland. Below are some pictures showing the first tree being planted.

The young wood is now featured as a Breathing Place on the BBC's Breathing Places national community initiative. See further details on the 'What's New?' page. The wood has started to be used as an educational tool to help children learn how to identify trees and how they have adapted to their environment.

Following the launch of the Community Woodland at Adelina Wood, Mont a L'Abbe at the beginning of September 2004, all one hundred trees were sold within two months.

The first tree was planted by the Jersey Association of Men of the Trees Patron, His Excellency, The Lieutenant-Governor, Air Chief Marshal Sir John Cheshire K.B.E., C.B. on 9 December 2004, in front of members and guests

Mrs Enid Gautier, donor of the field and whose late Mother, Adelina, gives the field its name, addresses members and guests.
