Volunteers invited to help Plymouth Natural Grid with tree care at Poole Farm
Join Plymouth Natural Grid for a hands-on conservation experience as part of the Plymouth Urban Tree Festival! Come along and help care for young trees and hedgerows planted around the home of the Plymouth & South Devon Community Forest.
You can be part of helping these trees to thrive! Activities may include weeding, mulching, replacing guards and bamboo canes, removing litter, and cutting ties. This is a great opportunity to learn more about tree aftercare and contribute to the growing community forest.
