Setting up a community tree nursery

Come and join Moor Trees!  We need your help, whether for a day, or as a regular volunteer.  You could be collecting local seeds, caring for thousands of seedlings in our nurseries or to planting and maintaining conservation woodland.We have two large nurseries at Broadley Farm, Diptford, near South Brent and Hunter’s Moon in Dartington.  Woodland sites are scattered around Dartmoor and in the South Hams.  Tree planting takes place between November and April while nursery work – potting, planting and weeding seedlings happens throughout the year.  In summer we visit newly planted sites and in the autumn we collect seeds, nuts and acorns and learn various treatment methods to encourage germination.Volunteers of all ages, abilities and cultures are welcome.  We are a friendly group and volunteering with us is a wonderful opportunity to work with other enthusiastic people in beautiful settings, to get healthy exercise outdoors and to make new friends.  No previous experience is needed: we explain all the tasks and teach you how to do them.We ask you to bring a packed lunch, sturdy footwear and outdoor clothing with waterproofs if necessary. Tea, biscuits, hot drinks and tools are provided free by us.
