WESTONBIRT, The National Arboretum, will be offering families the chance to explore some fascinating, useful and very beautiful trees this February, when it holds its Conifer Capers event.
The event takes families on a trail around the arboretum to discover some of the most fascinating conifers in the tree collection.
The trail will finish at the learning centre, where the Forestry Commission’s team of staff and volunteers will be on hand to help families with some very creative cone crafts, including the chance to design a conifer landscape collage and make pinecone monsters.
Caroline Bennett, The Forestry Commission’s learning assistant at Westonbirt Arboretum said:
“February is the ideal time of year to wrap up warm and explore our collection of conifers. Whilst other trees have bare branches, the conifers continue to delight visitors throughout the winter season. Many of these trees have come to us from all over the globe, and some are endangered in their native habitats.”
onifer Capers runs from 10.30am to 3.30pm from Tuesday, February 18 to Thursday, February 20. The event is included in the cost of admission.
