Project Description

Tree haling is a practice used to retain space and light around old or special trees. Haloing ensures trunks get ample air flow to protect against potential rot or decay, and reduces the likelihood of competition by other trees. Haloing safeguards old trees and the habitat they provide for other species (birds, invertebrates, lichens, epiphytes).

Please wear long-sleeves to this event as we will be removing bramble and working in and around stinging nettles. So let's reduce scratch and skin irritation risk!

Meet at the entrance to Ham Avenues located off Ham Common (adjacent to Ham Common Pond). Look for the TCV van.
