A free copy of the Tree Trail map. We have an A3 trifold tree map that easily fits in to your pocket. It shows a walk on the Commons which includes most of the trees and shrubs found in Britain that are considered to be native. The walk is approximately 4km in length and sensible footwear is advised, there are some steep paths and steps and depending on the weather it could be muddy. It is a circular walk that starts and ends at the Old Bowling Green. The walk can be completed on one go or you can do it in sections, there are paths along the way that lead back to the Old Bowling Green.

There are 55 different specimens, on the back of the map is a picture of their leaves, fruits and flowers where applicable. This will help with identification.

There are also some non-native trees such as Spanish Chestnut and Monterey Pine to name a few. These are listed on the map.
