As we are all about planting trees, and because many TUF friends ask about the different species we have been planting, we have decided to put up some information here and will be adding to it over time. To help you with identification, we have added some familiar trees which will be seen around Thanet, even if they are not ones we are planning to plant.
Throughout the site, when particular species are mention we will try to link back to its information page to help users learn about, and recognise that species.
For those of you unfamiliar with the scientific names of trees and what they mean we try to explain it HERE.
