Eden community tree nursery work party

Come along and help grow our new Eden community tree nursery!

Join us for our regular Tuesday afternoon session at the tree nursery from 1 pm until approx 4 pm depending on weather & light levels.
There’s lots to do to get the site ready to be a sustainable tree nursery, so if you’re up for a spot of painting, planting, building, cleaning, chopping, tidying or digging then we’d love to see you!
Volunteering at our community tree nursery is suitable for everyone – you don’t need to have any previous experience. There are always plenty of jobs available at all levels – from absolute beginners upwards, and help is always on hand to support you!

How to take part:

1. Let us know in advance that you’re planning to attend:

• Send us an email at [email protected],  or
• call Jenni Payne (Volunteer Coordinator) on 01768 866788

before the work party to let us know that you intend to come along so that we can confirm the meeting place and time and let you know if plans change or it is cancelled (for instance plans/venue may change if the weather forecast is bad!) and ensure we have the correct tools and equipment for everyone,

We just need your name and contact details (email/tel number). Please let us know if you have any additional needs (e.g. mobility) so that we can make adjustments to help you make the most of the day.

2. Wear:

Warm clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy in, sturdy shoes or wellies (when it’s muddy) and waterproofs. We can provide gloves, but if you prefer to use your own gardening gloves – please bring them along. Please let us know if you need waterproofs – we’ll see what we can do.

Please be aware that currently there is not much shelter and there are no facilities at the site. 

We’ll bring the tea and biscuits!

Can’t make Tuesday afternoons? Look out also for additional, ad hoc tree nursery sessions on our website taking place on other days and times.
