Mellerstain Estate: Tree aftercare (NB 9:00 AM Departure)

Note: we will be leaving St Andrew's square at 9 AM for this slightly more distant task.

Designed by Robert Adam and completed in 1778, Mellerstain House sits on an estate in the heart of Scotland's rolling border country. The formal gardens surrounding the house were designed in 1910 and are dotted with ancient trees. Roe deer are often glimpsed in the gardens as are badgers, stoats and foxes. In summer swallows, bramblings and pied flycatchers make the estate their home.

On this visit we will be maintaining previously planted trees to ensure they continue to grow well.

We encourage volunteers to use our minibus for transport. If you live near this task and wish to make your own way you must ring Debbie on 07510959496 to book a space and for joining instructions.

Please bring your lunch and wear appropriate footwear (boots or wellingtons) and waterproof outdoor clothing.

NEW VOLUNTEERS Please only book one task initially. If you do not attend without letting us know, we may cancel any additional task bookings. If you are under 18 you will need to be accompanied by a guardian. Please contact us to discuss arrangements for volunteering with us, or whether other organisations might be more appropriate.
