This is a gentle reminder that our weekly volunteer day is happening tomorrow at our Daisy Bank community tree nursery 11am to 4pm.We will continue lifting trees and grading them in preparation for tree planting this season. The weather forecast is promising sunshine all day for a change, so it is a good opportunity to spend the day outdoors if you are free to help out for a few hours.

Site maintenance at Gorpley yesterday, replacing broken stakes following damage from sheep earlier in the year and replanting failed trees. We have lots of replacement stakes at the bottom of the hill waiting to be carried up. It's such a ridiculously steep site to be working on and for carrying materials up to the top, hopefully the sheep won't get back in and damage trees again now that we've installed a new stock fence along the western boundary a few months ago! A huge thank you to Adrian for being such a brilliant volunteer! Not only did he do a great job with site maintenance and knocking in stakes, he also kept us entertained with a brilliant performance of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens while doing site maintenance on a wet and windy day! Turns out he's talented and remarkably capable of multi-tasking.He made a difficult job much more pleasant with his good humour and positive attitude throughout the day! πŸ’šWe still have plenty more site maintenance to do on this side. Please get in touch with us or keep an eye out for volunteer dates if you're free to help out.#charlesdickens #achristmascarol #tinytim #sitemaintenance #plantingtrees #topofthehill #steepslope #gorpley #wednesday ...

Bare root Sessile Oak trees lifted today with some lovely trees ready for planting. Mixed sizes from 15cm to 1m tall trees with good healthy roots. The small trees will be replanted once we've finished lifting and grading the rest of the bed on Friday as part of our usual volunteer day if you're free to come and help out for a few hours. It looks like it will be a lovely sunny day for it 🌞#sessileoak #liftingtrees #bareroottrees #communitytreenursery #mytholmroyd ... See MoreSee Less

We have volunteer days coming up at the Yorkshire Water Gorpley Reservoir site where we are doing maintenance due to wind and sheep damage earlier in the year. On Wednesday 22nd November we will be working on the very steep bit above the Bacup road which Treesponsibility planted with the help of volunteers over the 2017/2018 tree planting season. If you're free to join us, please email info@forustree.org for further information and details.#Volunteer #treeplanting #sitemaintenance #gorpleyreservoir #steepslope ... See MoreSee Less
