A rescued Pear tree on SRW

FOBH Tree Warden, Roger Miles, has spent years tending Bernards Heath and the Sandridge Road Wastes (SRW), including a multi-year effort to rescue a pear tree. Before 2017, he spotted an ornamental pear on the eastern side of the SRW which was growing at a jaunty angle.

His careful work over the last seven years has resulted in a vigorous and upright tree which is now a credit to the area.
