Today a group of Ship’s Co. Volunteer Crew Members travelled over to Sicklesmere near Bury St Edmunds to collect four Ash trees. These four trees are the last available Ash from the Bradfield Woods as the remaining Ash trees have sadly succumbed to Ash dieback.
The Ash trees are lovely and straight making them perfect for oar making.
The Sutton Hoo Ship’s Company would like to formally thank The Suffolk Wildlife Trust for their kind donation.
