A leather-bound “Book of Oaks†contains the names of all of those who have pledged, planted, grown and promised oaks for this purpose. To mark the importance of this project, the Cathedral team have placed a stone replica of the Book in Monks Wood in Lincolnshire. At a ceremony which took place on Saturday 7 November in the Wood at Ashing Lane Nature Reserve, Dunholme, the stone was blessed by the Cathedral team. Also invited were delegates from the Nettleham Woodland Trust (NWT) who created the woodland, and other partners who have promised the gift of oak trees over the last 20 years, including British Hardwood Tree Nursery. This project forms part of the Forestry Commission’s Cathedral Oaks Dedication Scheme where landowners can assign a part of their woodland planting once they reach maturity.
