Families In Nature: Tree ID At Alloway Library

Families in Nature: Tree ID at Alloway Library

A group of people stands and walks together along a wide, well-maintained path in a park-like setting. The path is bordered by neatly trimmed grass and scattered with large trees that provide shade. The group includes several adults and at least one smaller child, all dressed in casual outdoor clothing and walking side by side. Sunlight filters through the tree canopy, creating soft patches of light and shadow across the path. The background shows more trees and open green space, suggesting a quiet and accessible natural area suitable for families.

Get to know the local tree species and learn how to identify them. There is so much we can learn from trees so start your journey here!

This event is part of a series encouraging families to connect with nature across South Ayrshire.

Who is delivering this workshop?
Aimée Moretti. I am a Senior Project Officer with The Conservation Volunteers where I deliver Citizen Science sessions across Scotland. Citizen science is the collection or analysis of scientific data by members of the general public. It’s all about discovering wildlife, exploring habitats, and finding out more about the data you can collect to protect biodiversity.

If you know you won’t make it please let me know ASAP. Unfortunately with free events people feel less committed to attend and often don’t inform hosts that they won’t attend. It’s a shame when this happens as other interested folk may miss out on booking a space.
