Heartwood tree guardians

 At the weekend we held a stall at Tesco in Borehamwood to recruit people who will become Heartwood tree guardians. We signed up lots of people and hope to sign up even more to help, not only with tree planting but with all sorts of jobs to help create Heartwood Forest.

So whether you like walking, digging or spotting wildlife there is a huge range of jobs that you can get involved in. Here’s a taste of what you could be doing to help create a fantastic wildlife habitat for future generations:

Planting trees – One of the most fulfilling experiences that everyone should do at least once in their lifetime! Help to plant over 600,000 trees that will make up Heartwood Forest.

Caring for your Community Orchard – Take care of young fruit trees and watch them grow from tiny saplings to fruit bearing trees.

Leading Guided Walks – Share your passion for Heartwood and for woodlands and lead guided walks around the site.

Photography – Take photos of your favourite spots and watch them change over the seasons and the years.

Nature Detective – Record when the bluebells first raise their heads, what kinds of butterflies are making use of the site and how many nesting birds you can spot.

Rabbit Proof Fencing – There will be miles of rabbit proof fencing protecting our young sapling trees. Help us by walking the boundaries and letting us know where it has been breached.

 So come and get involved. Whether you can spare an hour or several days we would love to hear from you.
