Ever wondered how to tell your birches from your b

Ever wondered how to tell your birches from your beeches? Or your elder from your alder? Join Fiona, a professional tree planter based in Cumbria, for an introduction to tree identification in winter!

£10 each- kids go free. Booking via our website!

The tree ID walk is on Wednesday 29th Jan and will be held in the grounds of the Farmers Arms starting from the car park at midday and finishing there approximately one hour later in time for the community lunch! (£7pp)

Winter is the busiest time in the tree planting calendar and provides the perfect opportunity to get to grips with tree form and look as the branches are bare from leaves. Instead of relying on leaf shape, we will be looking at the texture of the bark and the shape & colour of the buds, among other features. Fiona will guide you through the natural history of the different tree species and offer insights into how woodland landscapes are created and managed today.

Trees are fantastic harbourers of biodiversity and are the carbon-sequestering lungs of natural landscapes. Learning how to identify trees can be the first step to understanding the British countryside and feeling more connected to nature. This walk is intended to help beginners feel more confident in identifying your local tree species.

It will be a slow pace of walk but the ground will be uneven, slippy and wet, so wellies or boots are recommended.

Everyone welcome, including well-behaved dogs on leads.

Rose Mary is back.
Our Wednesday community £7 lunch is back this coming Wednesday.
The fire will be lit in the cosy stable bar.
So come on over for 1pm sharp because as the poster says.
When it’s gone it is gone.

Workshop Tom is on the posters this year so strap yourselves in for some old school scissors and sharpie photoshop. With deliberate spelling mistakes, appalling grammar, and definitely no joined up writing ever. But please don’t complain that just encourages him.
