The One Tree Per Child team are looking to recruit volunteers to help maintain and plant thousands of trees across the city. This winter the community events programme will be planting trees in parks and green space across the city including new woodlands, hedgerows and individual trees. There will also be new trees planted in primary school creating spaces for outdoor learning.
Training from the One Tree Per Child Bristol project officers is being run over the next few months for new and existing volunteers.
In 2014 Bristol was chosen as the first city in the world to roll out the international One Tree Per Child initiative. To date, more than 50,000 trees have been planted across the city. The current aim is to plant 6,000 trees per year until 2020, working with reception aged children starting at school.
