Grindleford tree planting group

Exciting new planting projects for Grindleford folk to get involved with to help with the Climate Crisis and enrich our local biodiversity.…

Our tree planting group have two new projects to tell you about.

  • We are pleased that the Grindleford Playing Fields Committee have agreed to a hedge planting community project at the top of the Bonfire Field. We have applied to the Woodland Trust to supply a range of native species, with a view to planting in March 2021.
  • The National Trust have agreed to help with a planting project on N.T. land at Upper Rough Wood and Oxhay Meadows beyond Padley Chapel. This one will need us to fundraise.
  • Other areas of land have become future possible projects.

If you would like to be involved with the group, please contact paul.thorpe@hotmail.com.   We will be needing enthusiastic diggers, planters and folk willing to help with maintenance.

We need to raise funds for the Upper Padley project – donations or fundraising ideas welcome!
