Enjoy a beginner-friendly winter tree identification session in the Heart of England Forest. The experience begins indoors with an introduction to the key features used to recognise trees in colder months, including buds, bark, twigs and overall tree shape.
This gives participants a clear starting point before they head outside to practise what they have learned.
The second part of the session is a guided walk through woodland at Middle Spernal, where participants can explore young plantations and mature trees while building confidence in identifying broadleaf species without leaves. It is a practical, accessible way to learn more about the woodland in winter and develop skills that can be used throughout the year.
