Mayow Park tree walk 5th June 10.30-12

Post by JRobinson »

Come and join us to help find out more about the trees in Mayow Park and have fun with your family at the same time.

Activities on the day include:

1. Meet our special trees: Find out about the ancient oaks, monkey puzzle, dawn redwood, weeping silver birch, holm oak (the climbing tree), plus we’ll all share any stories, myths and legends about each one.
2. Nature detectives: For children and all ages, help them to identify trees by their leaves.
3. Orchard identification: Find out about the 11 trees planted in 2012.
4. Bark rubbings: Create your own art with paper and crayons provided.
5. Tree measuring: Using different methods, we’ll be recording the height and girth of some of the trees for the park’s record.

Meet us at our table at the triangle by the café at 10.30 to get your activity sheets and join us on a guided walk.
