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.
We planted trees on this farm near Bath in 2022. We have revisited to make sure that trees are doing well. A few trees have not survived and we intend to replace them. We also want to replace or repair a number of guards and canes which have been damaged by the weather or animals, but we really need your help. You don't need any previous experience or expertise as we will show you what to do.
We appreciate all volunteers, whether you come for a couple of hours or stay all day, and children are very welcome.
What do I need to bring/ know?
Please come dressed for the weather and bring waterproofs in case of rain. We recommend sturdy boots, shoes or wellies and long trousers as the grass can be quite tall in places.
We will provide tea, coffee, and biscuits to keep you going, but please bring a packed lunch and a refillable water bottle.
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 if it’s raining, but if a severe storm or very high temperatures are forecast we will have to postpone an event for your safety. We will try and notify you as soon as we possibly can, and you’ll be invited to the rescheduled event.
