The first trees will be planted on 9 December

A new community woodland is being unveiled in Jersey.
The woodland will provide somewhere for people to plant a tree in memory of a loved one or celebrate a special event.
The area will be known as Adelina Wood, after the mother of Enid Gautier, who donated a field at Mont a L'Abbe with space for 100 trees.
Planting will be started in December by the Jersey Association of Men of the Trees, which has been searching for a suitable site for several years.
The association was formed to encourage the protection, preservation and planting of trees throughout the island, and to foster a love and appreciation of trees for the amenity.
The new woodland will eventually join up with existing woodland on the west slopes of the Vallee des Vaux.
