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. Hiking boots or wellies 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.

International Financial Group Limited - IFGL sponsored and planted 150 trees at last week. As they accomplished that in good time with a big and energetic team, they helped preparing for a public planting by removing the grass for another 200 trees🫶
We are going to prepare an answer over the next few weeks. An outline of our consultation response will be published here which might help you with formulating your own response
