Little Acorns Tree Planting

Helping to restore nature can start young.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event (admission applies)

To celebrate 50 years of the National Trust caring for Wimpole Estate and turning it into a haven for nature, we would love to invite pre-schoolers to help Grow Wimpole Together by planting trees with us.

Planting will be fun and easy – the trees come as little plugs and holes will be predrilled, ready to drop them into. Gloves will be provided and each child will have at least five trees to plant.
