About this Event
Wander around the woods and grounds of Stoke Park with local conservationist Steve England, to learn how to identify the trees at this time of year, with and without their leaves, bark and buds and through their different growth stages.
Learn about their uses for fire and crafts, the ancient trees in the woodlands and the life cycle of the tree species around us, and how they play such an important role in nature. We will be looking at special features that make particular trees successful, and hear fascinating facts about these beautiful living woodland structures, whilst strolling the park in the coolest season of the year. This event takes place during National Tree Week 2024.
Please wear sturdy footwear and bring a notepad and pen. The walk will last approximately 2 hours on uneven ground. Dress accordingly for the weather. Suitable for 8+, content mainly aimed at adults.
The Stoke Park Project - what is it and why is my place funded?
This is your opportunity to come and be part of a community conversation about Stoke Park. Bristol City Council wants to hear from you about which of the Park’s heritage and access features needs improving first.
By taking part in a fully funded walk with Steve England, you will learn all about the heritage, history and nature of the park, and afterwards you will be asked to send some feedback in a 3 minute survey, based on what you’ve seen and learned.
After the walk you will also have the chance to chat to Maria from Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust about your feelings and opinions. Which heritage aspects do you want to see restored first and foremost? Where could Stoke Park be easier to access for all?
The feedback received will inform how Bristol City Council manage the estate – so this really is your chance to influence the future of Stoke Park.
We request for any one individual to only book ONE funded space if possible throughout the programme please.
