London Tree Ring – Inclusive Street Tree Photography Workshop

Event Information

Join this inclusive guided workshop exploring urban trees through photography across a series of historic green spaces in the City of London, including Holy Sepulchre Churchyard, Postman's Park, St Anne and St Agnes Churchyard, and London Wall Gardens.

Led by Phil Paulo from CPRE London, (and formerly St Mungoes) participants will be supported to observe and document street trees in new and creative ways, with the opportunity to contribute to CPRE London’s wider photography project.

Delivered in collaboration with Fences & Frontiers (TBC), the session is designed to engage underrepresented groups in environmental activity, including refugee communities and individuals accessing support through the Rough Sleeping Assessment Centre. Translation support will be available where needed.

The workshop will conclude with an informal café visit, creating space for reflection, conversation, and social connection.
