About this Event
Everyone is welcome to join us for Tree Day at EcoPark! There will be tree-mendous activities for all the family from 12.00-15.00pm and everything is free! Here's what you can get involved with on the day:
- Birmingham poet Lee Mackenzie will be running family friendly poetry workshops at 12.30pm and 1.45pm where families can forage for phrases in amongst the woodland and construct a tree shaped poem. Sign up on the day – first come first served. Children must be accompanied.
- Have a go at stripping bark from logs to make traditional fence posts in our green woodworking area.
- Decorate the apple trees with colourful ribbons to say thank you.
- Write a wish on a Japanese ‘Tanzaku’ card and hang it in a tree for your wish to come true!
- Take a gentle stroll along our tree trail finding out about our terrific trees and playing Leaf Bingo.
- Make mini stick shelter habitats in the stone circle.
- Colour in some bunting for hanging in the orchard, make a bay leaf or pine cone hoop to take home and decorate a jam jar for holding a tealight, ready for a candlelight procession through the woodland to the orchard!
