Hello,
Spring appears to be coming very early this year, with some trees already unfurling their leaf buds and even showing blossom. As this happens, the opportunity to plant trees comes to a close, as they leave their dormant state and the chances of surviving the planting process reduces.
At the Restoration of Enfield Chase project we still have 8,000 trees to plant, and two weeks left to get them in the ground. Unfortunately the numbers of volunteers registered on the final events is very low, and we’re worried that we might not succeed in planting those final trees.
So if you would like to plant a few trees before the planting season ends, please have a look at the following list of events (all in the Enfield area), and see if you’d like to join us. Any help would be very much appreciated!
- Saturday 26th February
- Monday 28th February
- Wednesday 2nd March
- Friday 4th March
- Saturday 5th March
- Monday 7th March
- Tuesday 8th March
- Wednesday 9th March
- Thursday 10th March
- Friday 11th March
- Saturday 12th March
Each date is a link to the registration page, and you can find full details on www.thames21.org.uk/natural-flood-management/trees
