National Tree Week is the UK’s largest annual tree celebration. Each year, the country’s conservation sector, volunteer groups and tree-lovers come together to plant thousands of trees to mark the start of the tree planting season. Here at City of Trees we have events running throughout the week including a tree maintenance day for all the family at Ridgehill, Stalybridge. 

Booking your space
Please email katie@cityoftrees.org.uk to book your space at Ridgehill and avoid disappointment. Feel free to join us for the whole day or pop down just for a few hours. This one is suitable for the whole family.

Getting to our event
Ridgehill is located on Arlies Lane, Stalybridge, SK15 1HL

Frequently Asked Questions 

Do I need to bring anything with me?
We provide all the tools and materials you’ll need, including gloves. There will be a briefing at the start of the day, so you don’t need to prepare anything in advance.

Will we stop for lunch?
Yes! If you are staying all day please bring along your lunch for our break halfway through the day. We will provide tea, coffee, water and biscuits to keep you going through the day!

What happens if it rains?
We usually go ahead whatever the weather, we would only reschedule in extreme circumstances. If it’s really bad we will make a judgement call the day before or on the day of the event.

What should I wear?
Go for clothes that you wouldn’t mind getting muddy as well as sturdy closed-toed shoes or boots. Check the forecast but come prepared for the weather to change! Think warm and waterproof.
