Help us Maintain our Community Woodland!
Come and join us at Ushaw to help us look after our brand new community woodland!
Earlier this year, you helped us to plant 25,000 new trees across the Ushaw estate, over an area equivalent in size to around 21 football pitches. Now we need your help to look after them, removing the grass and weeds that grow inside their protective tubes.
Here’s your opportunity to be part of our future, as we want to involve the local community in woodland maintenance with the goal that people can learn about the establishment and care of a new woodland and be part of a sustainable future.
We have sessions arranged in the next few weeks as per the dates below. Sessions will run for three hours on a drop-in basis, so if you are not able to attend for the full three hours, we would love you to join us for as much as you are willing and able. Please do sign up for them in advance so we know how many people to expect.
Sessions take place:
– Monday 3 February @ 9am and 1pm
– Thursday 6 February @ 9am and 1pm
– Monday 10 February @ 9am and 1pm
– Thursday 13 February @ 9am and 1pm
More sessions may be added in the future, subject to demand.
Additional information:
