The first batch of trees is going into Sands Farm, and it’s 100 Oak trees! We lucked into these when Bristol Tree Forum posted about picking up a whole load for free. It’s a rather sad story behind it, the short version is that due to COVID lots of planned planting isn’t happening. That means nursery’s have very little choice but to put them in the wood-chipper, to at least turn them into mulch for the next crop of trees.
Thankfully we can give a home to 100 Oak trees, who are slow growers but fantastic at sucking up CO2. These 100 trees will soak up about 2.6 tonnes of CO2 a year once they get a little bigger, and every bit helps.

We need your email address to send you information about the events, and subsequent updates about the success of the project. We ask for your mobile number so we can contact you on the day of the event in case of any change of plans. We won’t share this contact information with anyone else.
Covid-19 Guidance
At all times it is essential to make sure that you follow government guidance, bearing in mind that local guidance for the planting site may be different than where you are traveling from. All of us have a part to play in reducing the risk of spreading coronavirus.
Please ensure that you keep at least 2 meters distance from anyone who's not in your household group. Two meters is bigger than you might expect: think the length of a typical cow. Given that we'll be outdoors we'll have lots of space and so we ask that you err on the side of leaving more distance than the minimum.
If any of our volunteers gets too close to you for your comfort then please don't hesitate to ask for more space. Likewise if someone asks you for more space then please be accommodating, even if you feel you're not within 2 meters. It's important to us that all of our volunteers feel safe at all times.
COVID-19 questionnaire
If you have to cancel at last minute as a COVID precaution then it's totally understandable; all we ask is that you let us know.
Have you had a dry, persistent cough within the last seven days? Have you had a fever, however mild, within the last seven days?
Have you noticed a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste?
Have you been in close contact with anyone displaying above symptoms, or anyone with a confirmed case of coronavirus, within the last fourteen days? This includes any of your household members.
Have you received a letter from your GP stating that you are in a high or moderate risk category? Or do you fall within the category of clinically extremely vulnerable?
Are you in a quarantine period after traveling internationally?
Do you need to car-share with anyone who is outside of your household "bubble" in order to attend?
Are you residing in an area which has renewed restrictions on travel or the number of people from other households which you can meet?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions then please do not attend.
