About us

Now all the trees have been planted, we need to ensure their survival.

Help Ranger Kate with some much needed tree aftercare and learn how to look after newly planted trees.

Tree aftercare: adding mulch mats around the newly planted trees to prevent grass from growing (reducing competition) and keeps the moisture in the ground. Overall, giving the trees the best chance of survival.

This is a drop in session, no booking required. Free to attend. 10am - 2pm.
