About this Event
Tree Tour in Western Park
Saturday 20 June at 11am
Starting from Western Park main gates, Hinckley Road (map here)
About 1.5 mile with information stops along the way.
Around 90 minutes, steady pace.
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.
