Community Tree Planting at Ravenor Park

Trees for Cities is holding a free community tree planting day at Ravenor Park. Online sign-up for our event is closed but you are still welcome to come along and join us for tree planting fun on Saturday 2nd November, 10am - 3pm.

Our event is open to all and everyone who attends will have the chance to plant a tree with us. Trees for Cities staff and volunteers will be on hand to provide expert guidance on how and where to plant the trees as well as all the tools and equipment you need. We will also be serving free hot food and drinks throughout the day. For more details about the event, please read the information pack below.

Why are we planting trees here?

The new trees will provide succession to the mature trees already in Ravenor Park as well as increasing wildlife habitat, and help to combat climate change by sequestering carbon and cooling the air. They will also improve drainage, making the park more usable in the winter months and providing additional shade for park users.

The yellow areas on the map show where we will be planting new woodland areas. In these spaces, the trees will be planted as small saplings (some only about 30cm tall) and will grow together into a woodland. The coloured dots represent individual trees with red being a larger tree. Some of the larger trees will have a group of three trees around them, these are marked in green.
