Come and have a fun day with us at Protect Earth!

What is happening?

We are planting a wildlife corridor 350m long to provide food and shelter for birds, mammals and other creatures, as well as creating a safe passage for them across what is now open ground. It will also serve to provide protection for pregnant ewes and newborn lambs from harsh winds and the worst of the cold and rain. In summer it will also provide shade.

Full details will be sent out the week before the event, including the address and meeting place. The pin here is a guide to the general area only. We will be just off the A46, north of Newark.

We appreciate volunteers who are able to come for part of the day, a whole day or even the whole weekend, and children are very welcome. We love it when the local community gets involved in their area, and also welcome guests from further away. It allows us to make new friends, catch up with friends we've made, and learn what people love about their communities while talking to them about enriching local biodiversity. Please do not bring your dog as there will be sheep and lambs in the field.

We will be planting a mixture of native trees to create a corridor for wildlife which will provide both food and shelter from the elements.

• Where: near Newark, Nottinghamshire

• Date: 09/03/24 - 10/03/24

• Time: 10.00 - 16.00

What do I need?

No previous experience is necessary, we’ll show you what to do and provide all the necessary equipment. Please come dressed for the weather.

We will provide tea, coffee, and biscuits to keep you going, but please bring your own lunch and snacks, and a refillable water bottle as there will be water available to top up.

Will there be parking?

• There is on-site parking.

Whenever possible we encourage volunteers to car share, use public transportation, or even cycle, to keep emissions down and avoid stressing parking space.

What happens if Protect Earth needs to cancel?

Bad weather is difficult to plan for. In general, we will continue to plant if it’s raining, but if it’s looking dangerous or the ground is frozen we will have to cancel an event.

We will try and notify you as soon as we possibly can, and you’ll be invited to the rescheduled event.

If you need to cancel, please send us an email to let us know.

How do I confirm I'd like to go?
