Fancy learning more about our tree neighbours? Head out on a guided walk to celebrate National Tree Week

Thanet Urban Forest will be celebrating National Tree Week (23 Nov - 1 Dec 2024) with guided walks that are open to all.

National Tree Week (NTW), from The Tree Council and partners, marks the traditional start of the winter tree planting season. Autumn / winter is a tree’s sleepy season, they’re dormant so
experience the least stress when being replanted – to hopefully thrive into maturity, bringing huge nature, wellbeing and biodiversity benefits to all.

Thanet Urban Forest is aiming to amplify all of that by increasing the tree canopy cover of Thanet, currently one of the lowest in England, by engaging with the community to plant, establish and promote trees, leading to long term adoption of the trees by the community.
