Tree growing community

Welcome to our tree growing community! 

Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust is working with communities in the Yorkshire Dales to help set up, develop and sustain our first tree growing schemes. We also provide opportunities for a wide range of people to get involved in tree growing and planting.

Seed to Sapling

We are currently developing community growing schemes in Clapham, Crosby Ravensworth, Swaledale and Malham, where we are working with the Malham Environmental Group (MEG). These schemes will form part of a network of nursery experts to provide guidance which enables other community groups to set up their own nurseries.  

The scheme provides the tools, skills and materials needed for communities to set up and sustain their own tree nurseries. A key part of this will be to provide training in tree identification and seed collection, including seed collection from native ancient veteran trees. 

 

More ways to get involved through our community programmes 

Through our Community Conservation projects, we offer training and volunteering opportunities in a range of areas throughout the year, including meadows, woodlands and house nesting birds projects.
