Join us at Central Park for a day of tree planting! 

One of Green Communities’ exciting improvement projects in Central Park is the golf course planting scheme in collaboration with Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest (PSDCF).

Early this year we met with Jez, one of the golf course managers, and he explained to us how he wanted to 'shape the course with nature', to help direct players around and make the site more visually appealing. Not only will this be great for the people who use the course, it’ll also be a brilliant boost for wildlife around the area!

We have been working hard alongside the golf course team so we're ready to put trees in the ground. We have a planting design, below, which will make this space even better for wildlife and for people.

We are planting over 1000 trees through the course, this includes a mix of small and large native trees (with locations carefully chosen to consider surrounding views), edible shrubs and hedgerow. We will also be sowing approximately 1000m² of wildlife meadow.

 Hope to see you there!

Below is the planting design for the golf course, we'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts here! (deadline for survey 3rd January)

Please note, we will be walking on uneven and muddy grass, so please wear suitable footwear, clothing and appropriate wet weather protection.

This event will go ahead if it is raining, and will only be cancelled if there is a yellow weather warning in place. We will notify you of any cancelations the day before the event.

If you can no longer make the event, cancel your ticket so someone else can take your place!

Please contact us if you have any accessibility requirements so we can fully prepare and ensure the area is safe and accessible.
