Join us as we learn how to gather and prepare Wych Elm Seed for growing!
A short and fun evening session focussing on a species that might be now less dominant in the local landscape than others, but is no less important!
Meet us in Carronbridge Village Hall car park. We will park up, chat and then walk over (less than 500metres in all) to the trees.
Bring sturdy footwear, we will provide gloves and collection bags as needed.
We’ll tell you all about this fabulous tree, one of the few that produces seed this time of year, and why it is so special. The seed we collect will be grown on by a local tree nursery and planted back out locally to help expand our local elm population as part of the wider SCAMP project in the area.
