There is a hardworking core of people, trustees and members who make things happen: planting trees, running courses, cooking, building structures, clearing up after visitors and generally putting the world to rights!
Since we began in 1997 we have planted trees and persuaded landowners to plant trees along the river Urr from the source to the sea to create a wildlife corridor.
The latest venture is the Orchards and Wild Harvest Project. The aim of the project is to encourage the people of Dumfries and Galloway to plant and eat locally grown fruit and nuts in order to promote health and wellbeing, enhance local biodiversity and reduce carbon emissions. The project is funded by people buying a tree as a donation to the project, gifting a tree for Christmas, birthdays, christening, or as a memorial. The gift recipient will receive a certificate of planting.
