Join us for a fun, hands-on day of tree planting and learn how to protect young saplings.

Why It Matters:

Over two years we will plant 30 hectares of trees to increase tree canopy cover, restore nature and build community resilience. Pucklechurch Wood is the largest new woodland to be created on South Gloucestershire Council land, helping to reach our commitment to double tree canopy cover by 2050. Your help makes a real difference!
