LSTF Site Visits

Over the next few months we will be carrying out visits to the schools, groups and organisations who have expressed an interest in tree planting over the coming season. We will be visiting sites in all our LSTF areas; North Liverpool, South Sefton, Knowsley, South Liverpool, Wirral and St Helens. For each site we will:

• carry out a site visit, 

• talk to the group, 

• investigate the opportunities for tree planting, 

• decide whether the location is suitable for planting, 

• draw up a plan showing where we will plant and what species, 

• send this back to the group and arrange a planting day, 

• mark out the planting area, 

• give a safety talk, 

• demonstrate how to plant the trees, 

• help the group to get planting!

We work with all kinds of groups and organisations, including friends of groups, youth groups, the Prince’s Trust, rotary clubs, churches, children’s centres, primary schools, high schools, special schools and community groups. We create new areas of woodland, shelter belt, orchards and extend areas of existing woodland. This allows people to experience woodland close to home, and provides lots of benefits for wildlife, whilst helping to reduce climate change.
