How can you help around Gifford Woods? To help people get involved in their own time, we've produced a short video where Project Manager Nev (with a bit of help!) talks about how to care for younger trees. Watch at fb.watch/2cMm57hgft/, & let us know if it's helpful.🌳📽️👍

Whilst we're still not able to run group Volunteering Days, there are still ways you can help us manage the woods as you explore them individually.🌳 Video below shows how to check & clear around our young trees. 👇🎥👍 Let us know any Qs & if this is helpful we'll create more...
