National Tree Week – Woodland Working Day near Wylam

As part of National Tree Week and celebrating it’s 50th year we are running community volunteer tree events for the whole 9 days.

There are a variety of tasks for all abilities.

Do wear weather appropriate clothes, layers are good as we can get warm when we work even if it is cool. Waterproofs if necessary and sturdy footwear is essential. Something to sit on (plastic sheet, sit mat, etc). please bring work gloves if you have any.

Please bring plenty of water to drink, a packed lunch and a flask.

The site is just south of Horsley village which can be found just off the A69, west of Heddon on the Wall.

Horsley Wood can be found at the bottom of Mill Way which is in Horsley village, next to a converted chapel.

As part of National Tree week and celebrating it’s 50th year we are running community volunteer tree events for the whole 9 days.

We will be coppicing hazel, sorting and stacking wood for charcoal, stakes and weavers, creating a dead hedge to protect the copse from deer and making charcoal.

Living Woods facilitators will bring necessary tools and provide guidance and advice.

At Living Woods we are very excited about National Tree Week this year as it’s the 50th one! We have decided to really celebrate by running an event on each of the nine days of National Tree Week, to make a significant difference through Living Woods. Come along and be part of this milestone week!
