walk in the woods with The Tree Council
Walk in the Woods is The Tree Council's month-long festival to encourage everyone to enjoy trees and woods during spring. Across the UK, walks, talks and other events are taking place in towns and the countryside throughout the month of May. It's a great time to go down to the woods, the local park or just for a stroll along tree-lined streets. Spring flowers, birdsong and lush green leaves make them all particularly inviting places to be. Just click your local area on the map opposite to see all the walk in the woods events near you.
While you're on a walk in the woods why not take along a copy of our kids tree trail game that you can download by clicking the green box below...
