Our guided walks aim to offer forestry related learnings specific to Westonbirt Arboretum and the work we do at Forestry England. These walks include content regarding Westonbirt Arboretum as a living and evolving landscape, learnings on the world class botanical tree collection and why we all need trees. We cover what we do to care for this collection and make it sustainable, as well as sharing tips on how to enjoy trees in every season.
**Guided walks at Westonbirt Arboretum are led by dedicated volunteers and may occasionally be subject to cancellation.
