Explore the Urban Forest: Haggerston-Hackney

We devise and deliver creative events on foot. We co-produce the Urban Tree Festival in London, and co-produce Sound Walk Sunday and Sound Walk September that are global events.

Museum of Walking

Launching a new series of Stalking Trees walkshops, we are delighted to welcome Paul Wood, author of London Street Trees, to entice you to Explore the Urban Forest in Haggerston, Hackney.
 It is not everyday that you encounter exotic trees on your way to work, but that’s not the case for those who live in this part of Hackney. Persian Ironwoods and a Dawn Redwood are species you will find, minutes from this popular Overground station, on this exploration of London’s East End. Part species spotting, part urban tree management, explorations with Paul Wood are entertaining, informative and bring a fresh perspective to the urban scene.  Stalking Tree walkshops are produced by the Museum of Walking.
 Our route will include Stonebridge Gardens and the entrance to Albion Square marked by a Purple Crab Apple. We leave the square by Holly Street, mis-named as there’s no holly tree on it, but instead the handsome Tree of Heaven.  
 Our route also includes  de Beauvoir Square, there is a Wild Service Tree and a Juneberry (or as Paul prefers the ‘shad tree’), and the surrounding streets offer up a Tulip, Plum and Cherry trees to name just a few. No wonder the houses around this square are residences for a celebrity or two.
 Our route is a circular one, but whenever you are with tree sleuth Paul, you can’t be certain he won’t  lead off-route to show you another exotic tree.  No wonder Hackney can pride itself as London’s most diverse urban forest.
 We will be handing out a field notebook and pencils, for you to keep your own learning journal and Paul will be signing copies of his book that will be available to purchase. 
We will follow a circular route beginning and ending at Haggerston Overground station
