Planting a tree is great – anyone can do it, from the youngest to the oldest amongst us. If you come and get involved, it will be a day you’ll remember for a long time and it will be a great reason to come back to the Forest in the months and years to come. You will be able to tell your friends and family “I planted some of those”.
This will be our 4th annual tree planting event and will be in the parish of Kempston Rural, between Wootton and Kempston. There will be no parking nearby at the planting site so please don’t bring your car there. It’s very easy to take part; come to the parking co-ordinates anytime between 10.45am and 2.15pm to catch a free bus to the planting site. The last bus will return at around 3.20pm.
Everyone’s welcome to get involved – it’s something that we should all do at least once!
It’s very easy to take part; stay as long as you like and plant as many trees as you like. Buses will run regularly through the day.
We will provide everything you’ll need for a great experience – trees, tools, and even a toilet – just wrap up warm, wear something waterproof on your feet and bring lots of enthusiasm and good cheer! Remember to bring gloves, boots, camera and pen!
We will leave a logbook in the tent (please dont confuse it with the volunteer event sign-in sheet!)
Our Goal: As a group of geocachers, our aim is to plant together and have a fun experience! This is a great opportunity to teach young ones how to plant trees and the importance it has in our local ecosystem.
Geocaching: Within walking distance of the above parking coordinates is the 'Stewartby Lake' circular walk series which can be done before jumping onto the free bus shuttle or when you get back- so why not plan ahead and make a whole day of it?
We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Make sure you log a note saying "Will Attend" so we can have a good head count for the event. Oh and when you do log 'attended' we would love to know how many trees you have planted. See you on Sunday 7 February 2016
