72 Seasons – Trees turn Green Again

30th April – 4th May – Trees turn Green Again

After the bare, browns of winter trees, now is the time that they begin to regain their green colours. Have a look at Werner’s colours: https://www.c82.net/werner/#greens. These colours of nature were used by Charles Darwin, so he could be certain that the green he described, was the green everyone saw. Can you match the shade of green to specific trees?

Do you know the old saying ‘If the ash comes out before the oak There’ll be a summer soak. If the oak comes out before the ash There’ll be a summer splash.’ Why not have a look and see which is first in your area?
The Woodland Trust, have a free app for identifying British trees, which is available to download for Android & iOS. For more information, see here: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/british-trees/tree-id-app/

Nature and Wellbeing in the Probation Service

Lancashire Wildlife Trust Nature and Wellbeing Service started running sessions at a Probation Service approved premises in October 2020. Running a number of activities such as landscaping, growing food and working as a team, the project ran twice a week, available to the probationers living on site.

As the project was funded through Her Majesty’s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS) this evaluation was carried out following approval from the National Research Council for HMPPS and followed all their guidelines including size of summary report.
