If you are interested in trees and wish to get involved, then please email glosclimat­e@gloucester­shire.gov.uk. You will receive an invitation to an introducto­ry meeting where you can find out more.

A discussion will be held at this meeting to create a mobile volunteer network, how to get trees to plant in winter 2022 and a recap on tree planting actions taken so far.
