Come and plant a new forest at Knowlegates Farm, Castleton!

Knowlegates Farm

Come along and help us plant over 2000 trees in the Hope Valley. The woodland will be part of an exciting experiment comparing a Miyawaki Forest with conventionally planted area. A Miyawaki Forest is a dense woodland made up of native trees and shrubs planted to help us adapt to the effects of climate change. Evidence shows these forests mature quicker compared with conventional planting, and therefore provide the benefits a forest can bring in a shorter space of time. We’ll be planting 23 different species over the weekend! We'll be planting trees over the course of 3 days, Friday 25th November, Saturday 26th November and Sunday 27th November. The event is free to attend and open to all ages! Equipment will be provided on the day but feel free to bring along your own gardening gloves and a spade if you can. Tea, coffee and cake will be provided but please also bring some lunch along if you plan on spending the day with us. The site is quite remote, however off-road style buggies should be fine to transport little legs. The farm address is Knowlegates Farm, Castleton, Hope Valley, United Kingdom, S33 8WA.
