The Friends of Wandsworth Park are delighted to welcome their Committee member, Simon Edwards, one of the co-founders of the Urban Tree Festival and creator of the TiCL tree trail system, to give an informal talk about what it means to be a ‘native tree’ followed by a guided walk around Wandsworth Park looking at the native trees.
We asked London’s Tree Officers in all 33 Boroughs to show us their favourite 12 trees in each Borough.
Now you can see their choices online and find your nearest tree when you’re out and about in London with TiCL App
Explore the trees around Haggerston on a self guided tree walk based on the trail in Paul Wood’s book London’s Street Trees.
The map of the walk is available online and TiCL App will help you navigate the trail when you’re there.
Transport for London (TFL) has identified 50 Central London journeys between stations that could be quicker to walk than take the tube
We’ve created a digital map and App of those journeys and have added some features to them such as interesting trees, gardens and squares to make your walk greener and more pleasurable.
You can find all these journeys on TiCL app in the ‘Green Your Commute’ Headline in the Category ‘Transport’
…. and do use TiCL app to add more points of interest as you discover them on these journeys – together we can make journeys better
Did you know that more than 70 London Parks including Wandsworth Park now have self-guided TiCL App tree trails created by their Friends Groups?
These tree trails are a fun way to explore and learn about the different tree species in a park.
To celebrate the first Urban Tree Festival and the creation of their own tree trail, the Friends of Wandsworth Park have invited TiCL App’s creator, Simon Edwards aka @TiCLme, to demonstrate just how easy it is to create and follow a tree trail in their park.
Meet at Putt in the Park in Wandsworth Park. Bring your smartphone and TiCL App to join in the fun (Apple or Android devices)
You can see the Wandsworth Park Tree Trail online and get the App here
Is there a tree Trail in YOUR local park or perhaps you’d like to make one? You can find out more details about creating a Tree Trail on the Tree Council Website…or come along and ask Simon!
Rustle up some mates and summon your petal power for a circular florambulation round east London’s greenest spots, starting and ending on the Geffrye Museum lawn in Hoxton. A free, guided hour-long cycle, just turn up and ride!
Plant-themed decorating of yourself / helmet / bike is highly encouraged, and don’t worry if you don’t have your own bike, there will be hireable 2-wheelers there on the day, courtesy of OfO.
Part of our day-long Chelsea Fringe event at the Geffrye.
