Joining 9Trees on an eco-matting day: what to expect

The days normally run from 11am to 3pm, although you can also come for a half day too. All materials and tools (cardboard, woodchip, wheelbarrows and gloves etc.) are provided. All you need is a pair of sturdy walking boots and waterproofs (even if the forecast says sunshine only!)

These sessions are a great chance to meet the team, fellow 9Trees’ members, and perhaps also your own trees! If you want to help with eco-matting and are part of a business, you can take part in a Team Green Away Day to get out into nature during the week!

Days of Discovery is our exciting program of events that welcomes you to our woodlands (Read more…)
