The Haslington Conservation Volunteers 2009 educational visits took us to two locations near Macclesfield. The first was to Teggs Nose Country Park to look at the variety of trees around the reservoir.
The old Hornbeam with its twisted trunk and branches may be made up from more than one tree. In times past owners sometimes planted more than one tree in the same hole to act as boundary markers for their land.
Teggs Nose has been the site of a quarry, the overburden and waste was pushed over the top of the hill forming scree slopes and areas of deeper soil - attracting varying plant life.
