Supporting National Trust Jersey

Altair is delighted to support National Trust Jersey through membership and also through volunteering.

Eight people standing together in a garden, some holding sickles, in front of a house.

In March we planted many whips, including blackthorn and oaks at the edges of fields in St Martin. We then went back a few months later to check on the saplings; weeding around them and ensuring they had space to grow and thrive. We were delighted to find that the vast majority had survived and were growing well.

Hedgerows make a lasting improvement to our environment through carbon sequestration, enhancing biodiversity and soil enrichment; planting and maintaining hedgerows helps to protect Jersey’s natural beauty and rich wildlife.
