Dear Supporter,

Please join us on this celebratory planting day as we mark the end of a decade of planting. Our last community planting day of the Great Growing Project will take place on Saturday 12th February. If you have not yet planted in the woods, this is your chance to get involved and your tree will be registered on the Queen's Green Canopy website! Maintenance and care of the trees will be ongoing but this is our final opportunity to accommodate a lots of people to planting new trees. The morning session is 10am-12pm and the afternoon session is 1.15-3.30pm (bring lunch if you are coming for both sessions). Covid procedures are still in operation so you must book your place in advance!  

Book your place...

We have 60 children from Knights Enham Junior School coming up to the woods on Tuesday 15th February (9am-12pm) to plant trees in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubliee. All trees planted will be registered on the Queen's Green Canopy database.

Volunteers are needed to help with refreshments, managing tools and giving encouragement to the children as they plant the trees in pairs.

We are seeking skilled carpenters and accomplished woodworkers to lead a series of workshops as part of our ‘Timbershare’ project using the excess wood generated from the timber-frame cabin build and the One Ash project. The materials to be used are 1 year old, seasoned (uncovered) Larch and Cedar plus 2 year old seasoned (covered) Ash wood. Funded workshops will be held in April - June.  

Do you know a wood-worker who could lead a workshop? Please forward details of the project to your friends and family using buttons below.

Sadly our appointed builder for the Cabin is no longer able to take on the work as he had hoped and we now urgently seek a builder (specialist in carpentry) to manage the next phase of the build: as a priority, installing the raised timber floor, cladding and security shutters (commissioned) and ideally the internal walls and glazing. Do you know carpenters, builders and other strong arms who could help us finish the Cabin , contracted and/ or volunteer?

The site needs to be levelled by the end of February and although the Monday work team have done an AMAZING job so far they are tired and we now need some strong arms and a mini digger to shift piles of mud and level the site. This activity could take place on a Monday or a dedicated weekend.

Wildflower seeding in the meadow around the cabin site will take place at the end of March/mid-April.
