Community tree planting in Lacewood, Barnsley

We're inviting families and the local community to get involved in this tree planting event on the field off Carr Head Lane, next to Lacewood School, in Barnsley.

We're planting whips (baby trees) and fruit trees to create a more exciting green space for people and wildlife. 

We have all the equipment and experience to show you how to plant a tree. Just come along and give it a go!

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

This event is organised by Kids Plant Trees, in partnership with Barnsley Council and kindly funded by BIFFA.
