The Star has been successful in its application to receive 420 trees! These will be planted around the perimetere of the ground in conjunction with pupils from local schools. But we also need volunteers from the club to help. The trees will arrive sometime after 7th March.
Wild harvest – community tree planting pack
Grow native fruits, nuts and berries to make delicious delicacies to eat and enjoy!
Our wild harvest community tree planting pack contains species which are ideal for making traditional treats and drinks such as crab apple jelly or rose hip oil. These trees will also help attract native wildlife to your local area, and provide a beautiful display of colour for you to enjoy thoughout the year.
Which size of pack to choose?
If you apply for the 105 tree pack, it can be planted as a large copse (covering about a quarter of an acre), or a double hedge of roughly 30m (planting in a zig-zag formation)
The 420 tree pack is ideal for planting as a small woodland on roughly an acre of land. Alternatively, you could create approximately 120m of hedging (roughly 150 strides).
If you are struggling for land, try planting the trees as small copses, hedges and individual trees across the shared spaces in your area. Trees here and there can make a big difference to how your neighbourhood looks and how people feel about it.
Native trees included in this pack are:
Hazel, blackthorn, crab apple, elder, cherry plum and dog rose.
