# Event Details - **Event Name**: Volunteers Needed to Plant Trees Just South of Bristol - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: The landowner has a vision to create a 34-acre woodland in the Chew Valley and needs your help planting some of the thousands of trees.About this EventIntroCome and have a fun day with Protect Earth on 28th February 2026!Protect Earth is a registered charity, helping farmers and landowners increase tree cover and biodiversity on their land. We plant trees on unused and degraded farmland, use trees to provide shade and shelter for crops and livestock, create wildflower meadows, and help with tree maintenance for saplings that are struggling.What is happening?We are delighted to be adding our support to local environmental charity 9Trees to help a mutual friend with big ideas who wants to create a 34-acre woodland just a few miles south of Bristol. Over three winters the landowners will plant about 26,000 trees and shrubs with the intention of creating a permanent woodland to help address climate change and biodiversity loss.Of the thirty-four acres here, seven acres will remain open space. This will form multiple clearings and ten-meter-wide rides between each of the five major blocks of woodland and around the site perimeter. This means that there will be lots of woodland edges, which will have a variable width border of shrubby species and smaller trees. These will provide shelter and food for wildlife, much of the wildlife in a woodland inhabits the edges rather than the high canopy or the shaded interior.We appreciate volunteers who are able to come for part of the day or the whole day but please arrive at 10 am for the tree planting demonstration and safety talk if you possibly can. Children arevery welcome. We love it when the local community gets involved in their area, and also welcome guests from further away. It allows us to make new friends, catch up with friends we've made, and learn what people love about their communities while talking to them about enriching local biodiversity.Full details will be sent out a week before the event, including map links to the address and meeting place.What do I need to bring/ know?No previous experience is necessary, we’ll train you up and provide all the necessary equipment. Please come dressed for the weather. There is a big barn for shelter and a toilet is available.The landowner will provide a hot lunch, tea, coffee, and biscuits to keep you going. Vegetarian options will be available, please advise of any allergies or other dietary requirements when booking.Will there be parking?There is on-site parking. Whenever possible we encourage volunteers to car share or even cycle, to keep emissions down and avoid stressing parking space. It is possible to get here by bus but it involves a long walk. Please contact us for more information or help getting a lift.What happens if we need to cancel?Bad weather is difficult to plan for. In general, we will continue to plant if it’s raining, but if a severe storm is forecast or the ground is frozen, we will have to postpone an event. We will try and notify you as soon as we possibly can, and you’ll be invited to the rescheduled event. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bristol/volunteers-needed-to-plant-trees-just-south-of-bristol/100001978431970281 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit, charities, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Bristol - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: A field just south of Bristol - **lat**: 51.3857039 - **long**: -2.6154517 - **full address**: A field just south of Bristol, Map links will be sent to volunteers, Bristol, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Volunteers Needed to Plant Trees Just South of Bristol - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/da39c1e8326c7b29de8f74077d9df2fbfa325be0c3fada7b46df09c9b17dca12-rimg-w1200-h755-dc747c48-gmir.jpg?v=1766926962 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Volunteers Needed to Plant Trees Just South of Bristol being held? - **A:** Volunteers Needed to Plant Trees Just South of Bristol takes place on Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm at A field just south of Bristol, Map links will be sent to volunteers, Bristol, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Volunteers Needed to Plant Trees Just South of Bristol? - **A:** Volunteers Needed to Plant Trees Just South of Bristol is organized by Protect Earth. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Volunteers Needed to Plant Trees Just South of Bristol", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/da39c1e8326c7b29de8f74077d9df2fbfa325be0c3fada7b46df09c9b17dca12-rimg-w1200-h755-dc747c48-gmir.jpg?v=1766926962", "startDate": "2026-02-28", "endDate": "2026-02-28", "url": "https://allevents.in/bristol/volunteers-needed-to-plant-trees-just-south-of-bristol/100001978431970281", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "A field just south of Bristol", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Map links will be sent to volunteers", "postalCode": "BS41 8NP", "addressLocality": "Bristol", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.3857039", "longitude": "-2.6154517" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "The landowner has a vision to create a 34-acre woodland in the Chew Valley and needs your help planting some of the thousands of trees.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-28", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/bristol/volunteers-needed-to-plant-trees-just-south-of-bristol/100001978431970281" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/bristol/volunteers-needed-to-plant-trees-just-south-of-bristol/100001978431970281", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Protect Earth", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/protect-earth/20192412", "description": "Protect Earth is a registered charity, no. 1192453 in England and Wales." } ] } ] ```
