If you have volunteered to help the oak trees at Timberscombe Hill Fort today it is advisable to wear long trousers and good sturdy shoes as there may be “things” hidden in the long grass.

Join Exmoor Rangers to help save some oak trees planted 2 years ago. We need to stand the tree guards upright and trample down bracken around them to give the trees a chance.

This event is part of the All Parks Volunteer day. Something is happening in all 15 UK national parks. If you would like details of activities in other parks see here
