DVCAG Tree Planting Programme 2024-2025.

 Tree Planting Guidelines

About the plantings

The sessions will take place at locations around the Dane Valley area on private land. We will only be planting native broadleaf trees and will only plant at sites where woodland is appropriate for the conditions, usually land which is normally grazed and/or cut for silage.

All sessions will be approximately 9.30 - 12.30.

Please arrive promptly at the meeting points at the time indicated so that we can make a good start to each session.

What you will need to bring

Ideally we need people who are ready and able to dig planting holes for the trees, but there are much lighter tasks for those unable to dig, such as protecting the trees with plastic guards. If you are able to dig please try to bring along your own spade and work/gardening gloves and ideally a mallet/lump hammer for erecting the tree guard stakes.

You will need to provide your own refreshments if you require any, and there will be no toilet facilities apart from what the countryside has to offer!

Health and safety

We do not know what COVID-19 requirements might be in place at any point over the planting season, and even if not mandatory it might be appropriate to wear a mask in some circumstances (e.g. if there are other vulnerable participants attending), so please have masks available in case required.

Please do not attend if you are feeling in any way unwell.
