Talking Trees
“Enter these enchanted woods, you who dare”
These are no ordinary nature trails.
Weep with the willow!
Quake with fear at the witch in the elder;
Let the holly tree lead you to your true love!
Deciduous forest is the climax vegetation of Britain. This means that if all the humans suddenly disappeared, most of our landscape would within a few decades become covered in trees. Seasonal forest covered almost all of our land for thousands of years since the last ice age and before humans cleared it for many purposes, ranging from firewood, to ship building, furniture to housing. Forest is the most natural and most bio-diverse habitat for our island, and it seemed important that Siren developed a project to celebrate this.

“I think the notices about the trees are very good and useful as I am trying to learn to identify trees. It is also great that school children are working in this wood. I would have liked to do that when I was in school. Thank you.” From an email to Siren
Siren can design a Talking Tree trail especially for your woodland, private or public. Contact us
