Tree Planting at The Magical Wood!

Hi Everyone,

On Sunday myself, Lee, his Mum and Dad and younger brother Sam spent the day at the Woodland Trust's Heartwood Forest just outside Sandridge in St. Albans. We were there as part of a group of almost 400 Disney Store volunteers helping plant the final 16,500 trees in The Magical Wood. These volunteers are made up of Cast Members from our Stores, Head Office and Distribution Centre and they come from as far away as Plymouth, York and Manchester just for the day!

The Magical Wood is a small piece of woodland within Heartwood Forest and is being supported by the Disney Store. As part of this we have spent the last three years helping to plant trees to ensure that there is more native woodland for children and adults alike to enjoy for years to come. The last 2 years have not been the best weather wise (in fact they have been pretty wet and windy!) however it was third time lucky on Sunday as we had a glorious sunny day to work in!

Here are some pics so you can see exactly what we were up to on the day...
