Citizen Forester Tree Planting & Maintenance, Walkers Field

The Details

Join us for a day of tree planting & maintenance and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!

We will be doing tree planting and maintenance, giving our young trees at Mansfield Avenue some Tree-LC. We will be carrying out this work to ensure that the these trees reach establishment and create woodland areas that will support the local wildlife whilst also responding to the climate emergency.

All tools will be provided; please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work and sturdy footwear. Drop in for an hour or stay the whole day - you will be guided throughout the day so no prior experience is necessary. This activity is suitable for adults and older children.
