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.
