Help wanted to plant disease resistant elm tree

Published on 9 January 2012

We are looking for volunteers to join us in planting a 10ft disease resistant elm tree at the newly opened Bobbingworth Nature Reserve in Moreton.

The Countrycare Team from Epping Forest District Council with members of the volunteer group will be planting the elm tree on the viewing point at the nature reserve on Tuesday 24 January 2012. They will also be making compost bins and cutting and raking inbetween some of the trees.

If you wish to join them please call 01992 788203 for details and to book a place. Meeting at 10am at the car park on Moreton Bridge Road, you will need to bring sturdy shoes and a packed lunch. Tea and biscuits will be provided.

Volunteering with us is a great way to learn more about trees. You will get practical hands on experience and improve your health and wellbeing as well as meeting new people and having fun!
