Trees for Beginners - Walking Workshop

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!

How to get there: We will meet just off Brandy Hole Lane, at the western entrance to the copse near the large pond - the entrance is exactly here (so ignore the pin on the map below!) 👉🏽 https://goo.gl/maps/Q2Th7XeJna9BPJs78

What to bring: Sturdy boots, suncream, water, hand sanitiser. This event is not suitable for children below 12 (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult). Dogs are welcome if they are calm and friendly but ideally kept on a lead as we will be stopping lots to look at trees!

What if it rains? Rain or drizzle won't impact this workshop, but if the forecast looks really awful it will be rescheduled and you will be notified 24 hours before via email.
