Woodland walk in Ecclesall Woods

These woods host a rich diversity of tree and plant species, making them the ideal setting to experience the wonderous complexity of woodland ecosystems. On this walk we'll look at how humans have historically shaped the landscape as well as how the woods are managed today, with nature in mind.

All attendees will be provided with a link to a downloadable tree ID sheet prepared to accompany the walk. This lists the key tree species that are found in this location and the characteristics by which they can be identified. We will also be on the lookout for notable and veteran trees – tape measures will be provided to help establish their age.

This walk is part of a series hosted by Sheffield Woodland Connections throughout the city.
