Activities & Events
Volunteering with Trees for Health is an opportunity to meet other people, gain skills and experience, get fresh air, exercise, experience the health benefits of trees and contribute towards a healthier landscape. Below are details of our forthcoming events. More will be added as the season progresses so do check back or ask to go on our email list. Forthcoming Trees for Health Dates: Events below are free volunteer activities unless there is a cost stated. 3rd Wednesdays of the month (but not August & September) at Combe Royal, Kingsbridge - sample wild food, tree planting, tree care, tree nursery work, seed collecting, coppicing, woodland management and green woodworking at different times of the year. Sun 5 July - Summer Tree Identification, Follaton Arboretum, Totnes - focusing on native trees & their uses as an aid to remembering. You are also welcome to use keys provided & make drawings if you feel inspired. Techniques to help connect with the trees in our landscape, rather than an intellectual exercise in remembering!
