Massive thanks to the 'hardy dozen' who turned out today and planted 285 trees in two hours at Sulby Glen. What a team! ~IOMWT
Well done!
Wow.
Thank you to everyone who turned up and planted these past 2 weeks - you are all legends!
Well done
Yes I'd like to second that as 1st thing this morning I thought there'd be very few turning up what with the weather but as it happened we had more than a dozen, more like TWO dozen and some of them where families with small children who'd not planted trees before, good for you doing your bit for the environment. Many thanks to Steve for calling the shots today & keeping it as a go despite the wet start & to Lydia for giving us a lift down. More pics to follow hopefully of the tree planting
Good morning! We’ve had a couple of messages about todays planting and whether or not it will go ahead. The weatherman says that this rain is due to clear up soon and our lot are en route to the site now. So chins up, wellies on and best feet forward, lovelies! We’ve got trees to plant!
Wish I had seen this sooner.
This Sunday the 26th of January from 10.30 am we will plant at Sulby Glen again. 275 trees will be put into good Manx soil.
This particular planting will be a bit more physically challenging than most of our events. While it will be suitable for most people, a slope and a small obstacle make it less suitable for young children, people suffering from injuries and elderly.
Dogs that are medium to big also might struggle accessing the site.
⌚️📲 ☕️🧁
The plantings tend to last two or so and there will be coffee and tea afterwards. We understand that some people have busy Sundays and need to leave earlier which is absolutely no problem – we welcome every person who takes part! Don't worry if you have never planted a tree in your life - we will show you how to do it!
🌳🌲🌿🌳
All you need to bring is suitable clothing including shoes, everything else will be provided. If you have gardening gloves bring them along but we can also provide them for you.
🚗🚲🚐🏍
Parking is available in a little lane where the Woodland Trust signs and hopefully many other cars are.
If you would like a lift, let us know where you are coming from and we might be able to organise something.
If you have trouble finding the way or some other urgent messages, please call or message Phil 429615

The UK's Woodland Trust had a very successful 2019 too. 🤩
(Isle of Man Woodland Trust is a totally separate organisation but we certainly support their messages and actions)
275 trees were planted in Sulby Glen yesterday. Hazel, Birch, Oaks and pine were among the species planted.
It was splendid to see so many new people braving the January cold. Over 30 people made a fantastic team. What a start in the new year! 💪 With so many helping hands it took us little more than two hours to get all the saplings planted, even though there were steep slopes in some places.
We will be back in the same spot next Sunday, 10.30 am. From Sunday the 2nd of February we will be down south in the parish of Rushen for multiple sessions as 1,500 trees will be planted there.
Amazing! I'm so hoping to get there one week 🙄, but Sunday mornings are a bit tricky. I will make it ❤️👍
Some more photos. The slope was steep, but it made for some great views.
This place will be stunning in summer
We loved being a part of it. Keep up the good work. 👍😍
Great to see lots of new faces xx
Well done to the hard workers.

Today, the Isle of Man Woodland Trust's Membership Secretary and Treasurer dressed in matching greens, completely unaware that they were supporting the sterling work of the Isle of Man Young Farmers who are raising funds to help those affected by the bush fires in Australia. Well done, IOMYFA! Donation to follow with a link in the comments for anyone else who'd like to chip in! 🌳❤️🌳❤️

**First tree planting of the new year this Sunday**
This Sunday the 19th of January from 10.30 am we will plant at Sulby Glen again. 250 trees will be put into good Manx soil.
The plantings tend to last two hours or so and there will be coffee and tea afterwards. We understand that some people have busy Sundays and need to leave earlier which is absolutely no problem – we welcome every person who takes part! Don't worry if you have never planted a tree in your life - we will show you how to do it!

The planting should be easy on one part, challenging at another. Part of the site is fairly flat while another part is steeply sloped. It should be suitable for everyone who can manage a small obstacle.
All you need to bring is suitable clothing including shoes, everything else will be provided. If you have gardening gloves bring them along but we can also provide them for you.
Dogs are welcome but have to be kept on a leash.

Parking is available along the road where the Woodland Trust signs and hopefully many other cars are
If you would like a lift, let us know where you are coming from and we might be able to organise something.
If someone can give a lift from Ramsey this morning, please contact Lamara Craine

THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how many new trees the Isle of Man Woodland Trust planted in 2019. That's almost double any of our previous totals and we're simultaneously delighted and eager to beat our own record in 2020.
Follow this page for news of our latest plantings and for details of how you can help, if you'd like to.
Bright blessings! ~IOMWT

Before the networks get jammed (does that still happen?), before you're flooded with well wishes for the new year and whilst we're all still online, concentrating and (relatively) sober (albeit full of cheese and confused about what day of the week it is!) we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support in 2019 and to wish you all the very best of everything in 2020.
If you're the resolution making type and you're resolving to help with the regeneration of our planet, the improvement of our island or getting some more quality time with your family next year then trust us when we say that you could do worse than helping us out by planting a tree or two. Just keep an eye on this page for details of our plantings and turn up whenever you can.
If you're not the outdoorsy type but think your computer or admin skills could be of use to us out then please, get in touch. We'd love to hear from you!
Enough from us for now. Make with the merry and enjoy yourselves...it's later than you think!
Bright blessings! ~IOMWT
Please pm me to discuss the computer/ admin help needed as i cant pm you ! Thank you 😊
