About the Event

Let's boost your winter tree ID skills from beginner to pro! All while you learn about tree folklore, myths and traditional medicinal uses 🌳 Learn how to identify 15+ species of tree quickly (even without their leaves to help you!), and understand the central roles that our common native trees have played in our folklore, from fending off evil spirits to charming away warts.

You'll also get a handout beginner's guide to tree ID. This event is aimed at adults but is suitable for older children accompanied by an adult 18+.

How to get there: We will meet by the statue of the Roman goddess Minerva who is perched on a bench directly outside the entrance of the Minerva Theatre, PO19 6AP (click here for a map).

How to book: Select the number of attendees below and pay online. Or email me imprintecology@gmail.com to book your space and pay via bank transfer.

What to bring: Sturdy boots, water. Dogs are very 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.

About the tutor: Hi, I'm Emily. I'm a freelance ecologist, I work for Bumblebee Conservation Trust and hold a BSc in Wildlife Conservation and a post-grad certificate in Ecological Consultancy. I began teaching wildlife workshops in 2019 and my approach has always been fun, informal and effective for students who wish to foster a deeper connection with nature. I have a soft-spot for bumblebees, solitary bees, butterflies, bats, trees and wildflowers. I am a friendly and welcoming teacher who loves to share my passion for nature through engaging, outdoor learning.
