Preparing for Tree Planting season at Dartington Tree Nursery

Join us at Dartington Tree Nursery, to help get ready for tree planting. Learn new skills, meet like-minded people, and get stuck in! Come and help us get ready for our tree planting season. You can help with many things as we'll be lifting trees and sorting them ready to go out to our first planting sites. There is some digging to lift trees and prepare our heeling in beds but also there's plenty of work to sort the cell grown trees in the dry polytunnel. There's something for everyone. And if you have a family, your children are more than welcome to join us too! There's a timber framed hut, with a log burner, for getting toasty on those colder days. We also have a composting loo so you won't get caught short. https://www.moortrees.org/volunteering/ You can choose to join us for a whole day, a morning, or an afternoon - whatever suits you. Restrictions apply and numbers are limited. To book a space, you can either book a ticket via this page, or contact Holly Stewart our Tree Nursery Assistant on 07939953289 by 3pm the Friday before. Please advise Holly of any medical / access / additional needs you may have. We provide hot drinks, but please bring your own snacks, lunch (if you plan on staying all day) and sun cream if it is sunny. Please wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing.
