Thu 29 April 2021

online

Trees have been used throughout history and up to the present day for a vast array of purposes utilising almost every part of them. Looking at twelve trees as examples, this half-day workshop will explore the lives of trees through a selection of their uses including as materials, to provide food and as sources of medicinal compounds, considering the history of and the science behind these uses. Our interactions with trees can tell us a lot about ourselves and we’ll consider some of the folklore we have attached to them and also their importance to us. (This workshop will look at twelve different trees from the 2020 workshop, Take 12 Trees).
