Come and have a free, fun day with Protect Earth!
What is happening?
The landowners here own 4 hectares which is currently sheep grazed pasture. The objective is to improve the site for biodiversity by planting a mix of native tree and shrub species including Oak, Wild Cherry, Rowan and Birch. The new planting will incorporate gaps, glades and include shrub species to give the woodland a diverse and natural structure
Full details will be sent out a week before the event, including the address and meeting place.
We appreciate volunteers who are able to come for a whole day or half a day. Children are 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.

Whenever possible we encourage volunteers to car share, use public transportation, or even cycle, to keep emissions down and avoid stressing parking space. If you need a lift, or can offer one, please contact us and we can try to arrange that for you.
Will there be parking?
There is parking for 4x4 vehicles in the field. A free shuttle service is offered by the landowner from the village of Berriew nearby for drivers of other vehicles. Whenever possible we encourage volunteers to car share or cycle, to keep emissions down and to avoid stressing about parking space.
What happens 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 e.g. named storms, 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.
