Tree Planting at Eastern Hill Wood, Astwood Bank
Sessions every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday until the end of March.
Help us to plant brand new woodland over at Eastern Hill Wood, growing the Heart of England Forest for the benefit of people and wildlife. As we draw towards the end of the planting season we need your help to get the final 7,000 trees into the ground, we have plenty still to do, but the more, the merrier!
No previous tree planting experience is necessary and over 12s are welcome with an accompanying adult.
