About the event

Join Saving Devon's Treescapes and Cranbrook Town Council's Ranger, Andrew Chapman-New, at Cranbrook Country Park for a guided tree identification walk. Can you tell a hazel from a beech? Or an ash tree from a rowan? You should be able to after this session!

The Country Park has a range of tree species which will be looking splendid in late May, and so this will make a great venue for a tree identification walk and talk.

Trees are hugely valuable, providing habitats for wildlife and being significant players in nutrient cycling, including the carbon cycle. Yet we don't know enough about our magnificent trees - where are they, what type are they? On this walk we will also be talking about how you can help us by recording the trees which you admire using our recording platform Treescapes (devontreescapes.com). Why not take a look - you may wish to record some trees right now!

This session is part of the spring/summer events series by Saving Devon's Treescapes, a project led by Devon Wildlife Trust on behalf of the Devon Ash Dieback Resilience Forum, and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, One Tree Planted and other funders.

Andrew Chapman-New has been working as a Ranger at Cranbrook Town Council for several years and knows the site and it's species well, so you will be well looked after.
