About this Event
We are delighted to welcome volunteers from local communities to come down to Camperdown Park to help us plant a new forest of oak trees as part of our wider initative to preserve the HMS Unicorn - Project Safe Haven!
The HMS Unicorn Forest project aims to accomplish the following:
- Plant 1,000 oak trees in Camperdown - representing the approximate number of oak trees required to build HMS Unicorn herself.
- Celebrate Dundee's Maritime Heritage
- Support local biodiversity and Conservation
- Encourage engagement with Dundee's green spaces and foster environmental stewardship
What to Expect on the Day
This will be a friendly, hands-on session guided by the Dundee City Council's Forestry team in how to properly plant saplings - come and join Dundee's wider community and meet some of the HMS Unicorn staff to learn more about Project Safe Haven!
Teas and coffees will be provided for those taking part in the planting!
