We had a good day planting in Heptonstall on Sunday despite the rain and hail. We managed to plant around 1,300 hedging trees and get plenty of screefing done. Thank you to everyone who braved the weather and helped out 💚

Our next volunteer hedge planting day is on Thursday 19th and Sunday 22nd if you want to join us, the weather should be much better this time.

Join us for our Mother's Day family-friendly planting event in Heptonstall this Sunday, 15th March. With all the horrific stuff going on in the world, this is a great opportunity to take positive action by planting some trees and give Mother Earth some much needed love in peace and unity with lots of lovely folks from the community 🌱

Help us plant over 1km of diverse boundary hedging as well as 725 fabulous woodland trees to compliment a recently planted orchard. The whole site will be deer fenced ahead of planting so that all the trees and hedgerow can be planted without any plastic spirals or deer guards to avoid unnecessary plastic waste.

No experience necessary, just bring your enthusiasm - all tools will be provided.

Please book using the Eventbrite link below so that we can make sure we have enough tools and spare gloves for everyone on the day 👇

Another fabulous day of planting the hillside in Warland, Todmorden. We planted the last 628 trees to complete this planting project. This site has a total of 1,650 trees planted on this hillside as part of a local natural flood management scheme, which will also include a series of living leaky dams in the clough below to slow the flow of water and help reduce flooding further downstream whilst also providing wildlife habitats.

We protected the whole site from deer and livestock so that we would plant the trees without individual plastic deer guards to allow our homegrown Daisy Bank community nursery trees the best start.

Huge love and appreciation for all the wonderful folks who came and helped with getting this site prepared and planted in spite of the weather.

What a fabulous turnout we had for our volunteer hedge planting day at Wadsworth Lane Market Garden 🙌🙏💚 We had a super productive day with so many lovely enthusiastic folks helping out, powered by some rare winter sunshine and cake which was kindly provided by Caldergrowandgraze 😍

We planted a total of 876 trees with a diverse mix of 21 different species for future edible foraging delights and lots of benefits to wildlife.

A huge thank you to everyone who came and took part in planting the hedgerow 🌱💚

The next volunteer tree planting event will be on Thursday, 26th February, in Warland, Todmorden. Get in touch if you want to get involved 🌳

We had another productive day at the community tree nursery yesterday, lifting Downy Birch in preparation for our tree planting volunteer event on Thursday, 26th February.

A huge thank you to our lovely regular volunteers and crew who make our weekly Friday sessions such a joy 😊🌱💚

We are here every Friday from 10am-5pm throughout the year, so give us a shout if you want to get involved 🌳

It's been a very busy, wet, and soggy week working on lots of different projects ⛏️

Progressed with stock and deer fencing to get sites prepared for planting ✅️

Attenuation pond digging works started for a local natural flood management scheme to help reduce flooding.

Hedgerow maintenance planting to gap up the hedge but sadly managed to break one of our favourite Bushpro planting spades in the process.

Planting over 500 trees in Warland with the help of brilliant volunteers 🌳

Lifting, grading, and heeling in around 700 bare root Sessile Oak from our no-dig bed at the tree nursery as part of our usual Friday tree nursery day. These trees were grown from acorns collected in 2023 at Hardcastle Cragg 🌱

Unfortunate timing with our gas bottle running out on a very cold snowy day, so we made a fire to boil the kettle for tea and Toby's pot noodle lunch 🔥

Site visits and dropping off 300 Hawthorns, which we donated to High Hirst Woodmeadow Project for their volunteer hedgerow maintenance day 🌱

It's that time of year when every week gets progressively busier until we finish all the tree and hedge planting (over 16,000 trees) before April when all the trees come out of dormancy.

This week, we heeled in 12,025 trees in preparation for various tree planting projects around Calderdale as well as lifting more of our field grown trees as part of our usual Friday volunteer day at Daisy Bank community tree nursery 🌱

We also continued with stock fencing repairs and deer fencing to prepare one of our sites for planting with volunteers on Thursday, 12th February, in Warland.

Give us a shout if you want to get hands-on and volunteer with us 🤘

A massive thank you to everyone who has come out to help with our tree planting and tree nursery days even though the weather conditions haven't been very favourable 🙏💚🌳

We will plant a total of 1,650 trees, the majority of the trees being planted on this site were grown at our Daisy Bank community tree nursery in Mytholmroyd. The trees will be planted free range without individual deer guards and stakes as the whole site is deer fenced.

Get in touch for further information and details if you want to get involved 🙌

Stellar efforts from our brilliant volunteer Toby with removing these big stones from the bottom of the Sessile Oak field bed. The roots had found their way between the gaps, but this made it difficult to lift the trees without damaging the roots so the rocks had to come out.

We should have the last of this bed lifted by next week on our usual Friday volunteer day 🙌 Give us a shout if you fancy coming along to the tree nursery or for one of our tree planting days 🌳

We had a satisfying day of free-range (without deer guards) tree planting this week. Sessile Oak and Downy Birch grown at our Daisy Bank community tree nursery ranging from 60cm to over 1.5m metre tall were planted with help from lovely volunteers on this steep hillside. A huge thank you to everyone who came and helped with the planting as well as supporting at the tree nursery with getting the trees lifted and prepared for planting.

We will be back on Thursday, 12th February, to continue planting here if you want to join us and take take part in this planting project 🙌
