What will I be doing?

There are a diverse range of tasks to get involved with this community day. Whether you’re interested in a physical challenge, construction or production, there is something for everyone.

Activities will include, but not limited to:

  • Tree Planting - Following the drought this summer, we lost a number of our hedgerow trees. The main effort for the day will be identifying which need replacing and getting new whips on the ground.

  • Brash Piles - We would love to create a few more ‘pioneer islands’ of brash piles and saplings in key locations across the project. We feel we’ve learnt a fair amount over the past 2 years and are keen to put a few different methods into practice.

  • Tree Maintenance - The trees which did survive the dry temperatures need some maintenance, whether taking off guards from established trees, replacing broken stakes or clearing out grass, we want to give every one the best chance of survival!

Are you providing refreshments?

Absolutely. We really value your time and know that providing a range of delicious and locally sourced home-cooked food will help morale to remain high! We also believe sharing food and drink together is an important part of connecting as a community. Vegan and vegetarian options will be provided as standard.

How do we get to you?

15 minutes drive from Monmouth and 20 minutes from Abergavenny along the B4233, plus we are more than happy to collect people from our nearest train station (Abergavenny).
