It took around four months to plant the thousands of trees across the land in Antrim
A pensioner who has planted 20,000 trees on a plot of disused land has been hailed an environmental champion.
Around 18 acres are now planted, with one area allocated to hardwoods such as beech and oak and the reminder for pines. One acre of the land has been preserved as a wetland area and will be home to frogs, newts and wildflowers come the spring. Mr Hood’s son also keeps five beehives on the site, ensuring a steady supply of honey.
