Get hands on with creating the National Forest by joining us to plant a tree.
About this Event

Come and join us to plant a tree in the National Forest, one of the boldest environmentally-led regeneration initiatives in the country.

Our Plant a Tree events offer a friendly, and enjoyable experience at which you can celebrate and remember whilst contributing to the continuing growth of our Forest. You will be warmly welcomed by our team, who are always on hand to offer advice, answer questions and help make your day special.

Since the early 1990s, millions of trees have been planted across 200 square miles of the midlands, an area that was previously one of the least wooded parts of the country, transforming a post-industrial landscape and linking the ancient remnant forests of Charnwood and Needwood. Today, with the support of partners and communities, the National Forest is continuing to plant trees, care for woodlands, create and manage habitats, and helping to grow a greener, healthier and more sustainable future together.

Our events take place at our Brookvale Wood site in Ratby, Leicestershire, a growing woodland just a short drive from the M1. It is a rural location and the route to the planting site (around a 15-minute walk) includes crossing school playing fields and uneven grassy paths which can be muddy and may be difficult for people with limited mobility.

On arrival at Brookvale Wood, you will be greeted by a member of our team, and after checking in will be directed to the planting field where further members of the team await your arrival. You will then be invited to select and plant your your sapling of around 30cm tall from a range of native broadleaf species. Our team are there to make your day a memorable one so if you have any questions, please ask!
