Volunteer Community Foresters are meeting with the Raise team to do some site maintenance at Parkview in South Cumbria. This is a practical, hands-on day outdoors focused on maintaining and strengthening the newly planted site.

This session is part of our neuroaffirming Volunteer Community Forester programme. It offers a structured, welcoming space to build skills, spend time outdoors and contribute to long-term woodland creation.

This session is for Volunteer Community Foresters and invited link organisations.
