Event details
About the event
Join Mark for this inspiring talk on woodland creation and nature recovery in North East Somerset.
Avon Needs Trees is a charity working to create new permanent woodland throughout the Bristol-Avon catchment to fight the climate and nature emergencies. Starting as just a small band of volunteers in 2019, the charity has had a meteoric rise just 5 years since their inception. Now with 4 established woodlands and a community of over 1,000 volunteers, they are embarking on their most ambitious project yet; to create the South West’s largest new woodland in a generation.
Come and learn about the charity’s incredible journey so far, and their exciting plans for the future, including the Lower Chew Forest, their groundbreaking 422 acre woodland project between Bristol and Bath. This is a project of huge significance for climate action and nature recovery for the region. It is a perfect opportunity to find out more about how to get involved before tree planting commences at the site this winter.
