We are working with Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest to empower ages 16 - 28 with a FREE 6-month conservation training programme called 'Forest Rising'. Sign up for hands-on experience, designing and actioning planting projects offered by various outdoor and indoor workshopsπ³π
One of the big advantages of tree-planting projects is that it strengthens the earth, reducing run-off into our national marine park during rainy seasons. Aid us in helping the land so we can help our sea π
