Trees planted this season: 8,888
No it’s not a typo! This magical and auspicious number was achieved in 23 sessions by volunteers who planted 6,481 trees and 10 sessions with corporate sponsors that resulted in 2,407 trees.
Our most grateful thanks and the brightest of blessings to all who contributed - whether you screefed, planted, administrated or donated to further our cause - we see you, we love you, and on behalf of our island, our planet, and the air we breathe - we thank you once again!
The planting season finished at the end of March. We start screefing and digging again in October. During the summer we have occasional tree care events such as shelter removal or bracken thrashing, so if you want to take part in tree care sessions, let us know via isleofmanwoodlandtrust@gmail.com and whether weekend/midweek suits you better.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! ~IOMWT

Harvesting timber plantations is part of their life cycle. Did you know that around 80% of virgin wood is imported to the UK? We use it for example to build houses and furniture, which creates less carbon emissions than other materials. Commercial plantations are much less valuable for wildlife than native woodlands.

We need to replace some tree shelters at St. Marks as they have become brittle. If we can get some helpers, it would ease the task and make it more enjoyable :-).

Parking is safest at the farmhouse next to the barn. It is ~300m walk to the site. For walking directions follow our signs or reference map below.

⏱☕️🫖🥾
The sessions tend to last for two to three hours and we share coffee and tea afterwards. Sturdy shoes are important and warm clothing that can get some dirt on it are recommended. We always have some spare gardening gloves.
🚗🚌
As usual we recommend ride sharing, helps with directions and creates joy.
