Native Tree Seed Collection Burntollet Woods
July 7, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join the Binevenagh Landscape Partnership and The Woodland Trust to collect native tree seeds to help grow HMP Magilligan tree nursery, as well as taking some seeds home for your own back garden. Seeds collected at this event will be Wild Cherry, the first of our native species to ripen. However we will keep an eye out for what else we might be able to collect, and learn which species will be ripe later in the Autumn.
You will also have the opportunity to learn some native tree ID, and what to do with your seeds once you have collected them.
Equipment for seed collection will be provided, but please do bring your own bags/buckets to take home some seeds, and gardening gloves if required.
Please wear suitable sturdy footwear, and prepare for both blazing sun and the odd downpour! Some light refreshments will be provided, but do feel free to bring lunch, extra snacks and water.
Meeting point is 10am sharp in the carpark of Ervey/Burntollet Wood. See link below for google maps meeting point.
Please register fo this event in advance.
