About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

The Botanical Gardens are the ideal setting in which to get to know our native trees as well as more exotic species from around the globe.

The main themes for this walk will be the evolution of trees, meeting 'living fossils' and interesting hybrids. Plus we will learn key identification characteristics for a range of different trees featured in the gardens.

All attendees will be provided with a link to a downloadable tree ID sheet prepared to accompany the walk. This lists the key tree species that are found in this location and the characteristics by which they can be identified. We will also be on the lookout for notable and veteran trees – tape measures will be provided to help establish their age.

This walk is part of a series hosted by Sheffield Woodland Connections throughout the city.
