How to Read a Tree: A Talk with Tristan Gooley
Monday 23 September 2024, 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Do two trees ever appear identical? No, but why? Every small difference is a clue.
Each tree we meet is filled with signs that reveal secrets about the life of that tree and the landscape we stand in. The clues are easy to spot when you know what to look for but remain invisible to most people.
Tristan will tell us about his new book How to Read a Tree and you’ll discover firsthand the simple principles that explain the shapes and patterns you can see in trees and what they mean. And you’ll learn rare skills that can be applied every time you pass a tree, whether you are in a town or a wilder spot!
This event is brought to you by Friends of the South Downs and Friends of Chichester Harbour.
