leaf and lore: native tree walk

Discover the beautiful native trees of Ireland and deepen your connection to the natural world during this walk with The Conservation Volunteers. 

Learn how to identify different tree species and their important roles in our local ecosystem. Find out how different tree species have shaped the history, folklore and landscape of Northern Ireland.

During the walk, The Conservation Volunteers will tell you about the work they're doing to preserve our trees, plus the challenges posed by invasive species, climate change, and human activities. You'll also have the chance to visit our on-site tree nursery. 

We'll end the day in one of our beautiful exhibit buildings where you'll hear stories and folklore about Ireland's trees.
