TREE WALK #5: CITIZEN SCIENCE

TREE WALK #5: CITIZEN SCIENCE

Celebrating Sefton Park's 152nd birthday!

We will take a citizen science walk through the park to identify and record tree, bee, plant, bird and mammal species in the park. We will also talk about the differences between them and where they are on the tree of life (and where we as humans fit into that!)

Further Information:

- Meet at the cafe next to Eros Fountain by the side ramp entrance.

- All sessions: Please feel free to bring along your cameras or phones to capture the trees and what they offer for wildlife in the park.

- Please wear appropriate clothing for each walk. The ground may be slippery, muddy or wet and the temperatures in January and February may be very cold.

- During spring, there may be chances of high pollen ratings so please take precautions if you suffer from hay fever.

- If we get over 25 people in a group, there may be difficulty hearing Andrea. Please be aware of this if you are hard of hearing.

- Andrea will provide laminated handouts to be used during the walks for participants to refer to.

Submit your Tree Story:

These walks are part of a project that invites the public to help us create a history of the Liverpool City Region through its trees. Its resilience, strength and its diverse and fascinating story.

We want this project to grow and expand, so now we’re asking for your stories. Take a picture of a tree that means something to you and upload it here, along with a few words about what makes it important.

The Story of Liverpool Through its Trees is delivered by Open Eye gallery and dot-art, with support from Liverpool City Council and Mersey Forest.
