Community tree seed collecting day

Free Community tree seed collecting day!

Saturday October 19th from 10am-3pm.

Centre Vale Park, Todmorden.

OL14 7BS.

Booking via Eventbrite.

Come join Forus Tree for a fun day of collecting tree seeds and connecting with nature! This event is a great opportunity to learn about different tree species and how to harvest their seeds. You will be helping to diversify new woodlands and hedgerows.

The seeds you collect will be processed, germinated and grown at our Community Tree Nursery, Daisy Bank, Mytholmroyd. Here we have a weekly volunteer day, ‘Forus Fridays’ where you will always be welcome. When the saplings are big enough, they will be available for the many planting schemes we carry out in Calderdale each winter. Forus Fridays

This community event is supported by the Growing Diversity project, which is a partnership between the Fellowship of Trees, and the Woodland Trust, supported by the Forestry Commission. You can find out more about the project here.
