The Urban Tree Festival is back for its fourth year and it is bigger than ever.

There are over 100 events across the UK, spread over nine days, all of them
celebrating trees in an urban setting. Last year, the Festival went entirely online and
reached a whole new audience. This year we have kept the best of online, but we are
thrilled to be back on the streets and in the parks, celebrating urban trees.

There are discussions on everything from ancient trees to community groups, and a
series of lunchtime webinars hosted by CPRE London. Speakers explore tree blossom
and urban hedgerows, the London Urban Forest Plan and campaigning for trees.

There is a ‘Book Club’, with authors including Tracy Chevalier, Jonathan Drori, Anita
Sethi, Ruth Pavey, Katharine Norbury, Rob Cowen and Nick Hayes. You can join some
of them walking in the woods, or catch them online.

We also have some brilliant online (and free!) events for families and children. The
Drama Geezers will be creating a brand new story through creative play; Anansi the
Spider will be weaving his way around the wisdom of the world.

There is the launch of ‘Canopy’, an anthology of nature poetry and stories celebrating
trees. And every morning we start the festival with a meditation in the company of a
different species of tree.
