Launch of 'The Remarkable World of Trees' Exhibition
2021-09-16 19:00 - 20:00 | St Albans Museums & Gallery
From wildlife to wellbeing trees play a central role in all our lives and over the last year lockdown walks have encouraged lots of us to get out into the countryside and see trees, hedges and fields from a new angle.
Inspired by Kate Bretherton’s book, The Remarkable Trees of St Albans, this exhibition will help you to explore the world of trees from the soil they grow in to the insects, birds and animals that call them home. We hope it will also leave you with lots of ideas of how you can help trees, hedgerows and our whole environment:
Tickets by invitation only.
