Evening explores what trees can teach us

BURNHAM: The Burnham Foundation is holding its first in-person meeting with a ‘What Can We Learn From Trees?’ evening.

Held at Burnham Park Hall on October 21, the evening includes a twocourse meal and a talk by experts from The Woodland Trust and Burnham Beeches.

“We are changing our focus to include items about the enhancement of the environment and this is a perfect fit,” said Viv Nicholas, chairman of The Burnham Foundation and co-author of Burnham’s ‘tree trails’.

“The Woodland Trust and Burnham Beeches are great resources of knowledge and it’s going to be a fascinating evening.

“What interests me is that trees have been around for centuries. How do they prosper? What are their survival strategies? I think we can learn a lot from trees.”

The evening will include talks from Martin Boiling, of The Woodland Trust, and Helen Read, conservation officer at Burnham Beeches.

Tickets costs £20 and the event starts at 6.30pm. Bookings can be made by calling Viv Nicholas on 01628 661
