Tree Planting at Buckland Abbey
This winter we are planting 30000 trees at Buckland Abbey, come along and help us!
We are working with Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest to create, restore, and connect 52 hectares (128 football pitches) of priority habitat.
Over the next two years, we will be planting trees that will grow into woodlands, wood pasture, parklands, a traditional orchard and hedgerows.
This winter, over 30000 trees will be planted at Buckland Abbey.
If you'd like to get involved then please book onto one of the tree planting events. We are holding them every Saturday in January. These are drop in sessions and you don't have to stay for the full four hours of the event.
If you have any questions please contact us bucklandabbey@nationaltrust.org.uk.
