Baldwin planting, join us near Douglas (INSTEAD OF GOVERNMENT HOUSE)
🕦📅🌞
Date & Time: Sunday 7th of December from 10:30
Difficulty: Medium - 20 minute walk
Location: East Baldwin, Creg-Y-Cowin
Weather: warm 11°C, light rain but calm
🌱+💚=🌳
The more people we get the more we can plant! The project is on a 100 acre continuous site and envisions the planting of ca 20,000 saplings over five years. The area is prone to frequent fog and over the decades and centuries the trees will form a temperate rainforest. The land is owned by the Manx Wildlife Trust, providing certainty of protection. A public footpath meanders through the site. The site is part of the river catchment of East Baldwin so the trees you plant will improve the water quality of the island's capital.
😎
First timer or experienced, single persons or small groups, you can just rock up without prior contact. We are going to show newcomers our method of planting trees. It is okay if you come a bit late or need to leave early.
☕️🍪
The plantings tend to last two to three hours and we share coffee and tea afterwards. A basic field toilet is available on site.
🥾🧥🧤
As rain is possible, please wear waterproof, warm clothing that can get some dirt on it. Sturdy, waterproof shoes are essential.
Plantings usually go ahead in light rain and strong winds unless the conditions are deemed totally unbearable in which case we are going to announce it on our facebook page asap.
🚗🚌🚂
Travel time by car is about 15 minutes from Douglas. Parking is a bit of a struggle so ride sharing is encouraged. Please park close together
⬅️🚶🚶‍♂️
The planting site is ca 20 minutes walk from the parking area, one of our volunteers is going to greet people and point them in the right direction until ~10:45. Watch out for signs with arrows if you arrive later.
