Monthly Volunteer Work Day
Tortworth Arboretum
10.30am-4pm or when it gets dark, whichever is earlier
FREE, usually every third Sunday of the month
Learn new skills, meet new people and help restore this unique woodland.
We run monthly volunteer conservation days, using hand tools to restore the arboretum. If you enjoy working in the fresh air in stunning woodland surroundings, this is for you.
Work could include clearing bracken and bramble, chopping firewood, opening up pathways and cutting back overgrowth, and more. Volunteers are involved in deciding what work should be done and how we evolve the project.
Our next volunteer day is coming up soon - Sunday the 20th. Come and enjoy the arboretum as it transitions into autumn!
The site is under a lot of change at the moment, with our new roundhouse currently being built - very exciting. As such we will be using a temporary camp this month, so we can't provide food this time and will just be doing hot drinks - so please bring a packed lunch (biscuits will of course be supplied in decadent quantity).
If you'd like to come along and get involved just reply to this email (unless you have already been in touch). We have a minibus going from Bristol, so let us know if you'd like a space.

Directions: Please head to GL12 8HH on sat nav, towards the Tortworth Court Hotel. As you turn on to the driveway to the hotel, after a couple of passing places you will come to a green metal gate set back on the right hand side just before a stone building. Turn into this gate and park up.
