Riello UPS joined GreenTheUK and RFS at the beautiful Leighton Redwoods in Welshpool. A vibrant and friendly team enjoyed a guided walk of the woodland, learning about the fascinating story of this historically significant woodland.

Giant Redwoods, Coast Redwoods and Dawn Redwoods towered over us, some of which are over 160 years old, as we discovered more about their impressive resistance to fire and ability to reshoot if they fall down. In fact, one tree in the woodland which fell down in 1936 hit the ground and rooted into the soil from which 10 new trees grew from the trunk!

The team from Riello UPS helped manage this woodland by cutting back overgrown shrubs in the accessible parking area and along the paths. We also created a long clear path to help prevent adventurous mountain bikers from damaging the tree roots. Thank you for your keenness to learn and hard work!
