The Details
Join us for a day of tree maintenance and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!
We will be planting trees and carrying out important tree maintenance, giving our young trees at Crompton Moor some Tree-LC. During this session we will be planting saplings, removing competiting vegetation from around the existing young trees and replacing mulch matts. We will be carrying out this work to ensure that young trees reach establishment and create woodland areas that will support the local biodiveristy and help in our Natural Flood Management efforts.
All tools will be provided; please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work and sturdy footwear. Drop in for an hour or stay the whole day - you will be guided throughout the day so no prior experience is necessary. This activity is suitable for adults and older children this is because vegetation removal may require the use of sharp tools. If you are interested in bringing young children to this event please contact our team to see how you can be involved.

About the site
Crompton Moor is a public site. The area is maintained and looked after by the Friends of Crompton Moor group. The area we are working is by a pond. The ground is very uneven, and there is around a 5 minute walk up a fairly steep hill to our working area. A portaloo will be based in the car park for all volunteers to use.
