• Stalking Trees
We are not “tree huggers” but we do love trees, for we feel that they contribute more to our urban neighbourhoods than they detract.

• Devised by Andrew Stuck of the Museum of London, this walkshop became a regular event as part of the Mayor of London’s London Tree Week, and subsequent Urban Tree Festivals.
Everyone has heard ‘an old wives’ tale’ about a certain tree species, some of which have a layer of truth within them, others are downright ‘porky pies‘.
On this walkshop, participants are encouraged to investigate the myths and make up a few stories of their own. Trees can bear edible fruit, leaves and nuts, so participants can also investigate old recipes, cures and remedies and the brews of white and black witches!
Each participant receives a field notebook into which they insert tree leaves so by the end of the walk they have their own personal field guide. We encourage them to take photographs and add them to their own personal photo galleries and to a shared on-line gallery.
