About the Event
If you love trees, and have always wanted to learn more about them, this workshop is for you! 🌳🌲 Join me for a walk in Slindon Woods to learn some key principles of tree identification using easy techniques. You'll receive a free handout guide and discover the folklore, mythology, and traditional uses of many of our common trees.
This course is for complete beginners, forest school leaders, bushcrafters, lovers of plants with botany knowledge or none… everyone is welcome!
