The Woodland Trust have over 10,000 tree saplings to plant in Langley Vale Wood and we need your help.

We need families to put on their wellies and join us on Saturday 17th December to help create a living tribute to all those who served in the First World War.

The Trust’s Centenary Woods Project seeks to commemorate the First World War – creating a living legacy that can grow and thrive for future generations.

Langley Vale is the Trust’s 640 acre flagship site for England, and will be planted with tens of thousands of native trees and carpets of wildflowers.
