As a result, we have received several new requests to subscribe to the newsletter.  If you do not wish to receive the newsletter then please contact us via one of the emails below.   Volunteers We have had several people wanting to help as volunteers and we would welcome anyone else to help with the following types of activities: Maintenance work, which we schedule at our monthly committee meeting, Attending  festivals e.g. Sea Fest, Science Festival, Sidbury Fair , Checking our 3 walks in Sidbury, Salcombe Regis and Sidmouth, Labelling trees along the walks. Helping at our own events, in Tree Week in May and the Tree Celebration evening.
