For our first task of 2026, we will be working at Emlyn Meadows in Horley for Horley Town Council, who have provided some tree whips, stakes and wire mesh for us to plant in informal clumps near the Burstow Stream.Over time, these will help to provide more tree cover and accelerate the “re-wilding” of this site and in turn, make it more wildlife friendly. The trees are mainly Willows, so apart from being good for pollinators, they will also help to absorb excess surface water when the Burstow Stream bursts its banks in this area.

Items required from the allotments and shipping container please; Tree whips, spades, wheel-barrow, gloves, hammers and wire cutters (if any). I will bring some staples, a drivel for the stakes, plus a few extra bits.

If you are able to help with this, please book on via the MyImpact app and we will park and meet at the end of Kingsley Road, Horley at 09:45.

The weather is looking ok at the moment for the weekend, with just a small chance of showers and will be going ahead, unless I advise you all otherwise by midday on Saturday.
