Winter tree walk, Jenny’s Well

Sunday 18th February 2024

Kirsty Menzies is leading this outing to look at the trees around Jenny’s Well Nature Reserve. We will look at some of the most common wild species and examine the buds, twigs, bark, flowering parts and look for other clues to help us identify them. There will be plenty of opportunity to observe other plants and wildlife around the reserve.

We will bring some guides with us but here are some simple ones that you might like to download:
