Strawberry Line – Tree Planting Work Party

January 16 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

We need you…

There are 🍓 Line Tree Planting Working Parties between Westbury sub Mendip and Easton in January 2024.

This is a key element of our biodiversity improvements works that is a fundamental part of our wider project.

We are going to start tree planting along the 🍓 Line on Tuesday, 16th January (meet at Erlon Lane at 10am) and on Saturday, 20th (at Station Road Westbury, from 10am)  On the 16th we will be joined by volunteers from Osprey Outdoors who have helped us in the past.

These dates have been published in the PEW where it also announces planting on Wednesday, 10th.   Because trees were slow to drop their leaves this autumn we have had to delay digging them up from the nursery so the 10th will be a session at the Westbury Community Tree Nursery.

We very much appreciate your support and everyone is welcome, no special talents required. Please join, with gloves if you have a pair.

Now we’ve built the line we need your support to maintain & improve this fantastic community facility. So far, we’ve planted over 5000 whips and trees over the last two planting seasons, with lots more to come. With your support, and that of key partners (#BetterTogether) we could not achieve these amazing feats.

The dates are on local social media, but if you’ve missed them, they’re:

  • Wednesday, 10th January
  • Tuesday, 16th January
  • Saturday, 20th January
  • February 2024 – TBC
  • A date for some pre-planned biodiversity improvement work in the guise of natural hedge planting alongside High Green will be announced in due course

Please contact Penny J, in Easton or Mick F in Westbury for more information. Thank you
