HI Trees Action Group is looking for volunteers to help with the planting of 15-20 oak saplings as part of the Histon & Impington Green Gateway restoration project.
It is hoped these saplings will grow to replace some of the trees that failed during the long hot summer of 2022. The group would like to recruit a few extra volunteers to help get the job done more quickly. Sharing a request on their Facebook page, team leader Dan Mace wrote: “We have been offered some oak saplings. Can anyone help with planting and, possibly if enough volunteers come forward, also some weeding and mulching?”
The planting will be in the field adjacent the A14/Holiday Inn Impington, starting at around 2pm on Saturday 4 February. Volunteers will need to bring:
– a spade for planting and mulching
– trowel or fork for weeding
– wheelbarrow for mulching (optional)
– boots and weather-appropriate clothes
– their own refreshments
If you are able to help with this project, or would like more details, contact Dan Mace on dan.r.mace@gmail.com
