August 2004
The Upper Wylye Tree Group was established in spring 2004, by enthusiasts who want to promote the knowledge of trees and arboreal environments. The group’s aims include the provision of tree and nature walks, trips and talks.
A tree identification quiz, organised by John Wilkinson and Ian Foster, was held at Kingston Deverill Fete in July 2004.
Previously, a photographic exhibition was held at the Deverills’ Dog Walk, and the first tree walk, led by Charles Booth-Jones was very successful. The next walk will be held on Seed Gathering Sunday (10 October), in conjunction with the International Tree Council.
The Group also hopes to celebrate the launch of the tree planting season, by taking part in National Tree Week, 24 November to 5 December. Other events are being planned and will be publicised nearer the time.
Anyone is welcome to join the Upper Wylye Tree Group. Telephone John Wilkinson, 01985 844998, for further details.
