Pucklechurch Wood Maintenance Days

Join a team of volunteers to do some basic maintenance to help improve the survival rate of the newly planted trees in Pucklechurch Wood.

Now the summer is here, we need to keep up the maintenance of the Pucklechurch Wood site to improve the survival rates of the new trees. Help clear the tubes of any long grass smothering the saplings and re-tie or replace broken stakes and tubes.

No skills or expertise required, all training, tools and gloves are provided. Please bring sturdy footwear and wear long sleeves and trousers. We need to be mindful of ticks in the long grass. Bring a packed lunch and plenty of water.

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