Autumn events focus on ancient trees in Ripon's Skell Valley
This autumn, Ripon's Skell Valley Project is celebrating the numerous ancient trees that can be found throughout the valley.
On October 26, the project team will be holding an Ancient Tree Discovery Day at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, where ancient tree advisor and author Brian Muelaner will be exploring the world of veteran trees.
The family-friendly event will run from 1-4pm and will include a slideshow and talk about the ancient trees of the National Trust and their cultural heritage connections.
This will be followed by a guided walk exploring the spectacular veteran trees of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal.
Attendance is free, but does have to be booked by contacting karen.collins@nationaltrust.org.uk
Before the discovery day, Ripon Arts Hub on Allhallowgate is hosting a book talk on October 21 at Ripon Arts Hub on Allhallowgate.
Running from 7.30pm until 9.30pm, it will feature authors Simon Toomer and Max Adams.
They will be discussing the importance of trees in the landscape and celebrating the wonder of trees. The event is being held in partnership with Little Ripon Bookshop, and tickets are available online or directly from the bookshop. Bookings can be made online by clicking here.
