This event is part of our Eco-Explorers programme for 10-14 year olds and accompanying adults. We will wander out on to Barnes Common to meet the trees old and young that make the woodland what it is today!

As we walk, you’ll learn about the fascinating lives and the connections between humans and these amazing plants. We'll use all our senses to get a better understanding of the different types of trees around us, and we'll use puzzles and games to keep everyone engaged along the journey. As we walk we'll collect specimen samples from the key species we encounter. To finish, we'll use these samples to create our own tree art by using cyanotype printing paper.

All equipment will be provided, booking essential. Sturdy footwear is recommended and as the event is entirely outdoors, we remind people to dress appropriately for the weather on the day. Bring a bottle of water or hot drink and a snack with you for the event.

The walk will begin at the Vine Road Recreation Ground near the Pavilion.

Please note, dogs will not be admitted at this event except guide dogs. All our events are dog free unless specifically mentioned in the event listing.

TICKETS: All proceeds from ticket sales will support our conservation work and future learning events and we would encourage you, if you can, to pay full price. We do not want cost to be a barrier to our activities, as such we have a limited number of discount concession tickets available, please email [email protected] for details.
