Tree Fostering and Adoption
You can also help out from the comfort of your own home by joining our back garden growing program. We provide a tray of tree seedlings, some pots, soil, fertiliser and help and advice along the way. You look after the trees until they’ve grown a bit bigger and give back when ready. Keep as many as you want.
​
We’ve planted a number of trees around the streets of Tytherington and Bolingbrook recently. Whilst they get established, they could do with someone to look out for them. The main responsibilities would be watering during hot weather and reporting any mower damage. You could even go as far as to mulch an area around the tree, occasional pruning or maybe even give the tree a name.
Corporate Volunteering
Does your company allow volunteering days for its employees? If so, maybe a group of you could come along to our growing site at the Rossendale Trust to help for a day. We can probably accommodate groups up to about 15. If you are interested, please get in touch.
Other ways to help
Poster and sign making.
There are loads of creative types of jobs that we need doing. Things like making flyers, banners, posters, labels and signs etc.
​
Scrounging.
There are many things we need to enable us to grow trees. We prefer to reuse things rather than buy new.
Our wishlist is here. If you notice any of these items on Facebook and Freecycle please let us know.
​
Events.
Help at one of our events, such as seed collecting, berry squishing, tree planting and maintenance.
