Summary
Join us in taking care of newly planted trees within the Silk Wood Community Planting Project at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum.Detailed description
At Westonbirt Arboretum's Community Woodland we are re-planting an area of woodland cleared due to ash dieback. Every step of the woodland regeneration is being carried out by volunteers, community groups and schools. Come along and help this project with a day of mulching and tree care.
This day will involve a 20 minute guided walk from the Welcome Building to our planting site where we will carry out a variety of maintenance tasks including mulching around the trees, checking and re-applying their guards and surveying their health. All equipment and training will be provided and volunteers will be able to work within their comfort zones carrying out as many or as little of these tasks as they would like.
They'll be self-led scavenger hunts and craft activities if you need a break from the physical work. Perfect for anyone looking to get involved in nature recovery and learn more about our native woodlands.
Suitable for adults and families with children over 7.
