Do you know the names of the trees that are growing in our villages? Can you tell the difference between an Oak tree and a Beech tree?
This tree trail will test your knowledge and should encourage you to look more closely at them.
How to follow the Trail
When the leaves are on the trees, walk around Pangbourne and Whitchurch, going to the 12 places which are marked on the map. Each location is marked with a letter, from ‘A’ to ‘L’. It doesn’t matter what order you walk from location to location, or how long it takes you (it isn’t a race!).
When you get to each place, read the ‘Helpful Hints’ which will help you pinpoint the exact tree you should be identifying. Now read through the list of 12 tree species on the Answer Sheet and look at the ‘Helpful Pictures’. When you have decided which tree you have found, write down the location reference (letter) next to the name of the tree on your Answer Sheet.
When you have located all the 12 trees, you can check your answers here.
