What we'll do
During this session we will explore Danbury Forest, gathering seeds. We will discuss how this can be done in your own grounds with students. We will then take our seeds back to be processed. Seeds will be sorted and different processing techniques will be demonstrated and practiced. As part of this we can discuss developing tree nurseries which can contribute to your school grounds and wider community. Although this is a practical workshop, seeds will not be able to be taken away, due to bio-security. Sorry!

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
