Kenilworth RFC plants hundreds of new trees after felling last year
The 500 trees, a mix of oak, lime, cherry and hornbeam, were planted in ‘Glasshouse Spinney’ on Saturday February 17.
The site runs between the Rocky Lane footpath, and next to the ‘Cow Patch’ pitches where the club’s juniors play.

But Kenilworth RFC’s grounds manager Rod Jones felt the area would improve in future years thanks to the replanting. He added: “If you start to get trees dying the area’s only going to get worse.”
