Volunteers needed to plant a wildlife corridor near Newark-on-Trent

Come and help us plant a 300 metre wildlife corridor on a local farm to provide food and shelter for wildlife and to combat climate change.
About this Event

Intro

Come and have a fun day with Protect Earth!

Protect Earth is a registered charity, helping farmers and landowners increase tree cover and biodiversity on their land. We plant trees on unused and degraded farmland, use trees to provide shade and shelter for crops and livestock, create wildflower meadows, and help with tree maintenance for saplings that are struggling.

What is happening?

We planted trees on this site last year and are now back to plant a 300m wildlife corridor. These are invaluable to the environment, shelter livestock, and provide food and a safe place for wildlife.

Full details will be sent out a week before the event, including the address and meeting place.

We appreciate volunteers who are able to come for a whole day or just a couple of hours, and children are welcome. We love it when the local community gets involved in their area, and also welcome guests from further away. It allows us to make new friends, catch up with friends we've made, and learn what people love about their communities while talking to them about enriching local biodiversity.

What do I need to bring/ know?

No previous experience is necessary, we’ll train you up and provide all the necessary equipment. Please come dressed for the weather.

We will provide tea, coffee, and biscuits to keep you going, but please bring your own lunch and snacks, and a refillable water bottle as there will be water available to top up.

Will there be parking?

There is on-site parking.

Whenever possible we encourage volunteers to car share, use public transportation, or even cycle, to keep emissions down and avoid stressing parking space.

What happens if we need to cancel?

Bad weather is difficult to plan for. In general, we will continue to plant if it’s raining, but if there is a heavy storm forecast or the ground is frozen we will have to postpone an event. We will try and notify you as soon as we possibly can, and you’ll be invited to the rescheduled event.
