Help grow a greener future at Itchen Valley Country Park

Written By Emma Dutton

Residents can join or sponsor a tree planting session to support biodiversity and restore woodland at the country park

Plant Eastleigh - the borough's initiative to help tackle climate change, improve the environment and local green spaces - returns to Itchen Valley Country Park in the New Year.

Planting thousands of trees is a key part of the council's plans to help the Borough reach carbon neutrality by the year 2030 and bolster biodiversity in the area.

Green-fingered residents are encouraged to join or sponsor a tree planting session at the country park. 

Three planting days are planned:

  • January 25

  • February 8

  • February 22

Three planting slots are available each day. 

  • 10.30am - 12pm

  • 12.15pm - 1.45pm

  • 2pm - 3pm

This festive season, residents can support their local woodland by giving a gift that grows and makes a lasting difference to the community for £18. 

Those sending a tree as a gift will receive a printable gift certificate to share, and participants at the planting days can enjoy 20% off hot drinks at The Woodland Café, Itchen Valley.

Help grow a woodland and book or sponsor a tree planting session.
