Help us tactically prune trees in Liskeard, to better provide a habitat for local wildlife and sequester carbon dioxide.

Help us in Liskeard in Cornwall.

Come and help Protect Earth begin the decades long job of restoring High Wood to its former glory as a temperate rainforest.

To start we’ll be clearing and thinning some of the young conifers that were planted recently, to avoid having to wait 50 years before we can get on with the important work of restoring this woodland to benefit wildlife and carbon sequestration.

For decades High Wood has been managed as a commercial timber plantation, with Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce, and Western Hemlock dominating the landscape. In order to give native species a chance to recolonise this ancient woodland we’ll need to make some space.

That’s right, we’re going to be cutting down some trees! It might sound counter-intuitive, but this is all following advice from our ecologist and forester, folks at the Woodland Trust, and with permission from the Forestry Commission.

So come along, bring your friends, and maybe pick yourself a Christmas tree in the process!
