A guest blog from Holly Dabbs at Foxglove Forest School. Find out how kids can become Nature Explorers.

We are delighted to announce the winners of the first poetry and short story anthology celebrating urban trees - 10 writers have been selected for their engaging pieces that will be published by Sampson Low Publishers in the Urban Tree Festival Canopy anthology.  

The 2020 Urban tree Festival is moving online. In the light of the current situation, we have had to cancel the majority of the main, social, outdoor Urban Tree Festival activities we have planned, along with submissions through our open call.

We are delighted to announce our new competition for writers of both poetry and prose to tie in with the forthcoming Urban Tree Festival in May.

Next time you walk past a tree, stop and observe its beauty. Perhaps it has an amazing bark, show-stopping flowers or the colours and smells may draw your attention. Whatever draws you to the tree, I can guarantee that it has been used for healing and health for thousands of years.

Congratulations Ben Howell! In face of some very stiff competition, Ben, 18, a first year Graphic Design student at Kingston University has won our 2020 logo competition.

We’re thrilled that Kings Place will be hosting 2020 Urban Tree Festival events in their Nature Unwrapped series.

Author of ‘Botanical Shakespeare’, Gerit Quealy, is confirmed for the 2020 Urban tree Festival.

Looking for a simple way to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and maybe improve your memory? Why not take a walk in the woods?

We always knew Ginkgo trees were special, and this recent news stories explains why.

Think you could design a stand-out logo for us?

2020, our most ambitious Festival yet.
