🌳Learn to look after a local woodland!🌳

12:45pm-17:00pm, Tuesday 11 March

Strawberry Lane Allotments, Strawberry Ln, Bristol BS5 8EY


Interested in learning to care for a local woodland? Join us for this outdoors opportunity with the Birch Collective. We’ll be restoring the woodland and creating habitats for wildlife - no experience needed!


Details of the Activity:

Participants will engage in traditional woodland management using hand tools, including:

  • Coppicing, hedge laying, and charcoal burning to restore the woodland.

  • Wildlife habitat creation for birds, bats, and insects.

  • Seasonal nature connection practices to deepen awareness of the land.

  • Conservation tasks like path maintenance to improve access. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to get stuck in and learn!

     

What You’ll Need:

  • Shoes suitable for outdoor work (walking boots or wellies)

  • Weather-appropriate clothing (layers, waterproofs if needed).

  • Clothes you don’t mind getting muddy.

  • A water bottle and any snacks you’d like


Location: We'll be meeting at Strawberry Lane Allotments, Strawberry Ln, Bristol BS5 8EY, where the group meets before heading into the woods. Click here to plan your journey, feel free to send us a message if you have any questions about travel.
