Please register below for this Volunteering day at Kindling Farm, on Sunday 21st January 2024 (9.30am-4pm)
Following our hugely successful tree planting week in December, we are excited to announce further tree planting dates this January and February! This is to help establish our agroforestry system at the farm, and we would love you to come and join us and be part of this significant milestone.
Agroforestry is such a key part of the farming system we have chosen, for biodiversity, soil health, increasing access to local organic fruit - and indeed making this a financially sustainable business for the long term. So your help to get it right from the very start would be amazing.
The day will involve a wide range of tasks, from digging the holes, banging in stakes, mulching the planted trees; to taking the trees, equipment and mulch to the right place in the fields (they are big fields!).
As you can see from the list of tasks, this will be quite a physically demanding day. We will make sure we have breaks and look after you, but with our target of a total of 820 fruit trees to get planted this winter, this is going to be a busy one!
Days will run from 9.30am - 4pm and it's a great opportunity to get to know Kindling Farm and some of your fellow farm members a bit better. We will provide refreshments, a delicious organic soup and good company!
If you are wanting to book for more than one person, please make sure you register them separately.
