About the Exhibition
The Remarkable World of Trees exhibition will be held at St Albans Museum and Gallery – in the Town Hall in St Peter’s Street, St Albans. Running from September 17th 2021 – 23rd January 2022, it will be the culmination of many years of work and planning by Kate Bretherton. Kate has found herself fascinated by trees for many years and is the author of “The Remarkable Trees of St Albans” and the “Hello Trees” series of books.
Why ‘The Remarkable World of Trees?’
Quite simply, trees are absolutely amazing! Their impact and importance in the world should never be underestimated and we hope that the exhibition will inspire everyone who visits to become more aware of how vital trees are.

Trees for our planet
We know trees are crucial for our survival – but why are they so important? What parts of the trees play which roles and what can we do to support sustainability?
Trees for your wellbeing

Trees as your career
Working with trees is a career option for anyone – often bringing a mix of outside working, traditional and modern skills and a great sense of achievement.
