All are welcome at our tree nurseries where we grow local provenance trees for our woodland sites.
We support 100s of volunteers from all walks of life, all levels of knowledge and fitness. You can learn every aspect of native tree growing - from seeds to saplings at our Dartington, Diptford, Exeter, Moretonhampstead and Plymouth sites. Activities include seed gathering, sorting, sowing and nurturing, sapling care, site development and improving access for less mobile volunteers. We offer a wide range of practical skills, education and training for people and businesses.
Our Fry's & May's nursery was set up in August 2004 and has become hugely popular with volunteers. It is our largest provider of saplings, though expansion at our rural Diptford nursery has seen it keep pace with the Plymouth site.
Partnerships with local authorities, businesses, schools and colleges have created new opportunities. Partnerships with BITC, BTCV, Groundwork and the Universities of Plymouth and Exeter provide support for our national award-winning volunteer project, with volunteers receiving two further awards from the Volunteer in Plymouth scheme.
