It is down to the hard work and dedication of volunteers that millions of trees are planted each year.
Becoming a volunteer can enrich your life by meeting new people, learning new skills and being involved with worthwhile projects that improve local areas and will shape the landscape for generations to come.
Whether you want to help improve your neighbourhood or volunteer as an individual, with friends or arrange a corporate planting event with colleagues, we can help you connect with a local tree planting project that will value your support. Our tree planting season runs between November and March
Chowdene
29th March at 10am east of Saltwell Road South, opposite Grace College, south of Dodd’s Dene.
Oliver Henderson Park
30th March at 10am Oliver Henderson Park, Leam Lane Estate.
Join Living Woods as a volunteer!
At Living Woods, volunteer work involves getting small woodlands back into active management along with planting trees, which will form woodlands that communities will enjoy for years to come.
All of their volunteer work contributes to support wildlife and increase biodiversity. By ensuring the health of woodlands and creating more of them, they are actively tackling climate change by helping to lock in carbon from the atmosphere.
Working in small teams outdoors, the sessions are a great way to meet new people and enjoy nature.
If we all do a little it can make a big difference. Volunteers are an intrinsic part of Living Woods and they value each person's individual contribution.
We have a couple of tree planting events coming up...book via the links opposite..
Wednesday 26th March - Rising Sun Country Park
and
Monday 31st March - Henley Gardens, Wallsend
Please do come and help, urban planting like this makes a huge difference to increasing biodiversity in and around our city.
These events are being managed by Living Woods (www.living-woods.org.uk) on behalf of North Tyneside Council, as part of the ongoing work of the North East Community Forest.
We will be extending a small broadleaved woodland with 300 trees in a field between Rising Sun Country Park and Rising Sun Farm.
We will be planting and replacing 600 trees in a newly planted woodland in Henley Gardens, Wallsend.
