Countryside tree walk
at Doddington Hall, Nr. Lincoln
I am delighted to be running another guided walk of countryside trees on the Doddington Estate this summer, to give visitors the chance to learn more about some of the many wonderful trees there.
Trees have always played a vital role, both culturally and ecologically, and nowhere more so than at Doddington. This walk will meander through parts of the park and woodland close to the Hall, to take a closer look at some of the amazing specimens they have there.
The English countryside is home to many beautiful species, and at Doddington they have some old and interesting examples of oak, beech, sweet chestnut, sycamore, hawthorn, poplar and more. These trees are full of stories and wonder, and continue to draw our fascination and respect.
As well as hearing about some of the natural history and folklore of these trees, you will also learn some of the ways to tell one tree from another – such as the shape of leaves, texture of bark and overall form of the tree. Country walks will never be the same!
No prior knowledge is needed.
Date & time - Saturday 20th July 10am - 1230/1pm
Cost - £20
