Stroud Valleys Project Tree Planting Day – Oakbrook Orchard

Tree planting volunteers from the Stroud Valleys Project will join us to help us make a grand start to our tree planting season. We’ll aim to plant around 20 new trees in the orchard, all grown in our on-site tree nursery. More details on timing will be forthcoming.

General info for work parties

Everyone is welcome – no experience necessary. Please come and join for as long or as little as you like, and take it at any pace that works for you. Kids are welcome, but you must take full responsibility for any children you bring with you.

Do wrap up warm (or bring sun cream and a hat), bring snacks and drinks if you think you’ll need them, and bear in mind that the orchard site is pretty exposed. I’ll do my best to provide some flapjacks to keep us fuelled up.

We generally have all the tools we need on site, but if you would like to work with your favourite spade or secateurs, please bring them along.

It’s helpful if you can text or email to let me know you’re coming so I have a rough idea of numbers. If you need directions, have any questions, or want to check we’re there on the day if the weather is dodgy, please do get in touch.
