Vol @ Val 2025: Volunteering at Val de la Mare with Jersey Trees for Life

Details

Jersey Trees for Life hosts open volunteering sessions at Val de la Mare Arboretum on the first Friday of every month from April to November. We also host similar ad hoc sessions at shorter notice, so keep an eye out. If you're interested in tree care, or just fancy getting out into the fresh air for a few hours' gentle exercise on an autumn or winter morning, we'd love you to join us. You can sign up here if you're interested in attending one or more of the sessions taking place throughout 2025. Unless otherwise stated, we meet at 9:30am in the main car park at the top end of the arboretum (across the main road from aMaizin Adventure Park): https://goo.gl/maps/TMgmSCFsKgx5biB3A If you have any problems finding us on the day, please call Alex on 07797 774676. The tree care activities that you'll undertake will depend on ongoing priorities but will generally entail the likes of mulching, path clearing and removing bracken, brambles, ivy and nettles, as well as watering. For those joining us, please bear in mind the following: - You must complete a volunteer working agreement before attending (link also in confirmation email) - You may get wet so check the forecast and wear waterproof clothing and boots - You might get cold so wear layers and don’t forget your hat and gloves - Check the weather and wear sunscreen if appropriate (seasonal) - You may get tired so don’t push yourself too hard; take it at your own pace - Bring snacks and drinks to maintain energy levels - We provide equipment - Ask our team lots of questions and have fun! All sessions are held on the first Friday of the month from 9.30am to 12.30pm at Val de la Mare Arboretum. 2025 dates are as follow: 4 April, 2 May, 6 June, 4 July, 1 August, 5 September, 3 October, 7 November. Jersey Trees for Life regularly hosts extra open volunteering, especially during planting season (December to March), so keep an eye out. You can also register as a volunteer on our website. Doing so means you'll receive our monthly update with details of upcoming volunteering opportunities for the following month. We look forward to you joining us in 2025.
