Tree Tour in Western Park

Join us for a guided walk through Western Park. Presented by the volunteer Tree Wardens, this seasonal stroll takes in selected trees from the Western Park tree trail and visits the park's community orchards along the way. The Tree Wardens will provide interesting snippets of information to enjoy, as you wander around this beautiful green space. Our route will include some soft (unsurfaced) paths. Step out and enjoy summertime in nature. This walk is free to attend but places must be booked.

Western Park is home to two of the city's Community Orchards. This walk is a collaboration between the Leicester Tree Wardens and the Choose How You Move project.

• On cooler days wear appropriate layers and a coat/jacket
