About this Event
The Details
Join us for a day of tree planting and maintenance and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!
Saturday 28th Novemeber 2026 we are returning to Lowes Road to replace some trees that haven't survived, and to also maintain the trees that have by removing vegetation, matting and woodchipping the trees.
By mulching the trees and carrying out tree maintenance, we will be giving our young trees at Lowes Road some Tree-LC. We will be carrying out this work to ensure that the these trees reach establishment and create woodland areas that will support the local wildlife whilst also responding to the climate emergency.
This work involves kneeling, bending, and optionally also involves pushing a wheelbarrow.
All tools will be provided; please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work and sturdy footwear. You will be guided throughout the day so no prior experience is necessary. This activity is suitable for adults and children. The event will run until the work is completed so on some days we may finish earlier than 3pm – please let us know if you will be coming later in the day and not arriving at 10am by emailing [email protected].
