Omschrijving
We will meet at Hunsbury Library at 10am and walk down to the harvest site. This is the second harvest at this site for the Northamptonshire Woodland Community Volunteers.
Using the More Trees Now methodology we will be digging up trees that are growing under larger trees and we will be storing them in a tree Hub to then distribute on another day.
Each tree produces hundreds of seedlings every year. Most of these do not survive. These are disadvantaged because, for example, they are in the mowing path or grow in the shade of larger trees depriving them of light and water. On a harvest day we dug up these underprivileged trees
By digging these up and store them we are able, on a future date, to give them away for free to citizens, farmers, community projects and people who just want to plant trees. We aim to make Northamptonshire and the surrounding area greener faster and more fun with this community activity!
Since 2020 More Trees Now in the Netherlands have transplanted more than two million trees and shrubs so will you join us in Northampton?
An educational, fun day in nature. You learn to look at nature differently; nature gives us in abundance and you get to know all kinds of different types of trees in winter mode.
We will Identify and label these trees and store in the hub in bunches of 10 to redistribute.
Praktisch
Dress warmly. There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing! This means, among other things, a good raincoat and waterproof shoes. If you have garden tools, such as a spade, shovel or pruning shears, it is always nice if you want to take them with you. Also make sure you have a thermos/ water and something to eat to give you a boost.
