Celebrate National Tree Week at Montefiore Woodlands, Ramsgate

National Tree Week is coming up at the end of November and this is a great opportunity to celebrate trees in Thanet!

Take a walk with us in the woodland guided by tree expert Peter Hasted, to discover what these trees mean to so many people and the challenges of growing trees on the peninsula of Kent.

The walk will last 1 to 1.5 hours and will be a great opportunity to discover more about the beauty of trees and urban woodland ecology. Meeting point details will be sent by us in your confirmation email.

The woodland at Montefiore has a mixture of both native and naturalised trees which provide forage, shelter and shade for birds, hedgehogs and several species of buttefly alongside habitat for pollinators and pest predators. These are interspersed with some exotic and garden plant varieties, added over the years and left as an acknowledgment of the site's history as a garden.

"Montefiore Woodland may be only small but is a special area for wildlife as it is situated in an urbanised location.
"Peter shared his wide knowledge and answered numerous questions. Much was learned about the various trees, their diseases, fungi, hibernacula and the benefits of ivy at this time of the year as a source of nectar and hibernation for insects, berries & roosting sites for birds and bats."
