Jersey Trees for Life is hosting an open volunteering session at the Corbière section of the Railway Walk on Thursday 15 May at 9.30am.

If you're into trees or simply up for getting out for a bit of mild exertion on a spring morning, we'd love you to join us. As its name suggests, this session will be all about watering. You've probably noticed that spring has been lovely and sunny but the flipside is of course the lack of water. Therefore we're going to bring a full bowser to Corbière and start making our way along the Railway Walk while our team and volunteers water the whips and refill their cans.

Given the session's purpose, we would cancel it in advance if there were to be a meaningful amount of rain in the interim period. Should this transpire, we'll confirm the cancellation; it seems unlikely based on current forecasts, however.

You can sign up here for free if you're interested in attending.

We'll meet at 9:30am by the bus stop and glass-fronted house opposite Corbière Phare.

If you have any problems finding us on the day, please call Ben on 07700 798029.

For those joining us, please bear in mind the following:

- You must complete a volunteer working agreement before attending (link also in confirmation email)

- Check the weather and wear sunscreen as appropriate

- You may get tired so don’t push yourself too hard; take it at your own pace

- Bring snacks and drinks to maintain energy levels

- Please ensure you bring a watering can

- Ask our team lots of questions and have fun!

Jersey Trees for Life regularly hosts extra open volunteering, so keep an eye out.
