New Woodland Areas at Horsenden Home Field
Community Woodland Maintenance Day
Trees for Cities is pleased to hold a woodland maintenance day at Horsenden Hill on Thursday 15th August from 11am - 3pm and invite you to volunteer with us.
We will be spreading bark mulch around the trees we planted in Winter 2023/4, which will help the woodland establish by keeping the ground around the trees moist and providing nutrients for the young trees. No experience is required for this activity and is suitable for all ages.
We will provide drinking water, tools, a portaloo and work gloves but please bring any food you would like to have throughout the day. The nearest shops are about 10 minutes walk away.
The nearest postcode is UB6 0NZ. The site is approximately 15 minutes walk from both Sudbury Hill and Greenford underground stations where there are shops and cafes. The nearest bus stop is on Berkley avenue and is served by the 92 Bus.
For more information including accessibility information please contact our Community Engagement Coordinator, John at johnk@treesforcities.org

WHY DID WE PLANT MORE TREES?
This project will add to the canopy cover of the area and contribute to the Council’s aim to increase canopy cover to 25% by 2030, as set out in the council’s Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy and Biodiversity Action Plan. These trees will count towards Ealing Council’s shorter-term aim to plant 50,000 trees by 2026.
The newly planted trees at Horsenden Home Field will also contribute more broadly to the London Environment Strategy's aim to increase tree canopy cover across London by 10% by 2050.
