Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
It will not be long before the signs of autumn are apparent to all of us, especially after such a hot and dry summer. Once again the BBC, the Woodland Trust and the UK Phenology Network are inviting people to help chart the advance of autumn – by recording 6 key species – blackberry, hawthorn, swifts, conkers, ivy and oak.
The collated information will help the UK Phenology Network build up a picture of climate and climate change.
The Tree Council is also organising the ‘Seed Gathering Season’, a series of events that run from September 23rd to October 23rd. For more information on the numerous events organised by its various member organisations visit their website.
