Tree Planting with Harborough Woodland Volunteers

This  is the first  part of multiple events planting over 9000 tree whips  with donations from Leicestershire County Council and TCV.org    #Idigtrees scheme and support of multiple Tree Wardens. Woodland Trust  are also involved directly with other landowners

Please bring your own labelled spade and refreshment.

The  site may be  wet and muddy so boots and warm water proof clothing,   hats and gloves are essential. Rubberised gardening gloves are  recommended as we have dog rose and hawthorn in the mix.

Welham  lane is sign posted off the A6 north of Great Bowden. It is a single  track no through road. Parking is  limited. Please car share and park  in the spaces along Welham lane. The site gate is What3words location  ///disprove.claps.vertical near the footbridge crossing over the Langton  Brook.

By booking a free ticket, we can see how many are coming  and inform you of any changes by email. If there is torrential rain or a  blizzard, we can let you know if we have to postpone. There is no need  to print or bring your ticket as you will be on our ticket holders list  as we sign you in at reception.

Thanks  for your help. We expect to have planted over 30,000 trees by this  spring and instigated 7 natural flood management schemes since we  started in 2020 as we almost have the lowest woodland cover in the UK  and our clay catchment floods. Nothing happens without our wonderful  landowners and volunteers. It's fun for all ages.
