About the Event

Roll up your sleeves and help grow our local green spaces at the seasonal tree planting sessions with Harborough Woodland! This rewarding outdoor activity is a fantastic way to give back to the environment, improve local biodiversity, and get some fresh air. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or have never planted a single sapling before, the Harborough Woodland team will guide you every step of the way. It is a wonderful, active community day where you can meet like-minded neighbours and make a tangible, lasting difference to our local landscape.

Target Audience

This event is warmly open to absolutely everyone—families, individuals, complete beginners, and experienced nature enthusiasts are all welcome. Because it is a hands-on outdoor activity, it is a brilliant opportunity for anyone looking to stay active, connect with the local community, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of working outdoors in nature.
