  • Tree Planting

    Tree Planting

    HI Trees Action Group is looking for volunteers to help with tree planting at the HI Trees Woods near the Holiday Inn on Saturday 4th February from 2pm.

    Volunteers are needed 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.

    You will need to bring:

    Advert

    – a spade for planting and mulching

    – trowel or fork for weeding

    – wheelbarrow for mulching (optional)

    – boots and weather-appropriate clothes

    – your own refreshments

    Contact Dan Mace if you are able to help. Email: dan.r.mace@gmail.com
