Growing Trees and Hedges Workshop and gardening

On this new and exciting workshop, you'll learn how to grow trees and hedges for better biodiversity, both in your own outdoor spaces, and public spaces. The workshop will be led by Jo and Andy of #TeamWilder Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.

We will be looking at how we can improve the trees and hedges in the Terry Avenue area, and perhaps plant some new ones!

Practicalities

For the practical part of the workshop we will be walking to the sites, this is a walk of around 0.3 miles on a hard-surfaced route. Please wear outdoor clothes and bring gardening gloves, if you have any. If not, we can provide gloves for the event.
