Citizen Forester Tree Maintenance at Bowlee Park, Rochdale

The Details

Join us for a day of tree maintenance and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!

By carrying out tree maintenance we will be giving our young trees at Bowlee Park some Tree-LC. We will be carrying out this work to ensure that the these trees reach establishment and create woodland areas that will support the local wildlife whilst also responding to the climate emergency. As part of this work we will be carrying out vegetation removal and replacing mulch matts and woodchip around the base of previously planted sapling trees.

All tools will be provided; please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work and sturdy footwear. Drop in for an hour or stay the whole day – you will be guided throughout the day so no prior experience is necessary. This activity is suitable for adults and older children.

About the site

Bowlee Park is a public park. The area where we will be working has flat ground. The ground may be uneven due to vegetation, and can become muddy following rainfall. There are formal hard standing paths to the edge of the site, however the work site is only accessible via a grassed area. A portaloo will be available on site for volunteer use.
