Harborough Woodland Community Volunteers training day

Saturday 28 June 10:00am - 1:00pm, Robert Smyth Academy, Burnmill Road, Market Harborough, LE19 7JG
Harborough Woodland Community Volunteers formed five years ago. Since then they have been working hard to increase habitat and make space for nature in their region, collaborating with local landowners and volunteers, and have now planted in excess of 52,000 trees, as woods and hedgerows! Message from their team:

Now that we have a bit of experience, we are ready to cascade this valuable information to likeminded people, in the hope that they can use the knowledge to build similar groups, bespoke to their individual region. Please join us for a fun day of networking and knowledge sharing, and be part of the solution.
