Do you know your Hazel from your Hornbean? Join CPRE Kent to celebrate truly terrific trees as part of nationwide CPRE Countryside Day events. CPRE Kent will take you on a short guided walk around the ancient woodlands that make up part of the new National Nature Reserve and show you how best to identify some of the trees growing in the woodlands.
Meet at Shorne Woods Country Park by the cafe for a 10am start. The walk will take about 1.5hrs and we will return back to Shorne for a cup of tea in the cafe, where you can chat to CPRE Kent staff and learn more about our work.
Please note:
We will be taking pictures at this event for our marketing purposes, including social media. If you do not wish to be included in our photo's, please let the organisers know as soon as possible on the day.
