Citizen Forester Tree Maintenance at Reddish Vale, Stockport – Cancelled due to bad weather

Join us for a day of tree planting and maintenance and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!

We will be planting trees and doing vital tree maintenance, giving our young trees at Reddish Vale some Tree-LC. We will be carrying out this work to ensure that the these trees reach establishment and create woodland areas that will support the local wildlife whilst also responding to the climate emergency.

All tools will be provided; please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work and sturdy footwear. Drop in for an hour or stay the whole day – you will be guided throughout the day so no prior experience is necessary. This activity is suitable for older children and adults – this is because woodland maintenance may require the use of sharp tools. If you are interested in bringing young children to this event please contact our team to see how you can be involved.
