Jersey Dairy Information

Here at Jersey Dairy we are helping Jersey Trees for Life with their latest hedgerow campaign to create new tree corridors between Queen's Valley and Gorey to preserve the Island's rare red squirrel population. They have over three thousand trees and hedgerow plants waiting for a new home for this project. Now we are seeking the support of farmers and landowners. Jersey Trees for Life Arboricultural Officer, Conrad Evans is looking for land in the Faldouet area of St Martin that has been identified as in need of planting by the Environment Division of the Planning Department for this current year. Managing Director, Eamon Fenlon, said: "We have supported the Hedgerow Campaign because this is a vital and visible way of preserving our Island environment for the future. Jersey's dairy farmers are responsible for protecting and conserving the natural environment over large areas of the Island and this initiative has exactly the same objective. Once locations have been agreed by landowners, the trees will be planted with the help of Island youngsters as part of the Jersey Dairy Days on The Hedge project. Jersey Trees for Life will continue their care of the trees as they establish, by maintaining them, with the help of volunteers and the support of Jersey Dairy, for three years.
