ReForest London is hosting a planting on May 14th at Dingman Park. Register here
NOTE: Dingman is a very wet planting site. Please remember to bring waterproof footwear and be prepared for a more rugged planting experience!
To keep all staff and tree planters safe, we limit the number of volunteers at each event. Anyone who wants to plant trees must register in advance. This will allow us to ensure that we have enough trees for all volunteers to participate.
No planting experience is necessary, as our staff and Planting Leader volunteers will provide training on-site.
We plant rain or shine but if it looks like a thunder and lightning storm, we do cancel plantings – so please check our website or Facebook page on the day if you are unsure. We will email all guests who have registered if we must cancel the event.
We look forward to seeing the trees we’ll plant together grow and put the “forest” back in Forest City. Thank you again for your support of a greener and healthier community.
