Winter in the Heart of England Forest Arboretum
Experience the quiet beauty of winter on a 2.5-hour guided walk with Forest Rangers Sam and Lauren through the Dorsington Arboretum and surrounding woodlands. Discover striking tree silhouettes, evergreen colour, and subtle signs of wildlife as the forest settles into its colder season. Along the way, Sam and Lauren will share insights into native and international tree species, highlight winter’s unique features, and introduce you to the resilient wildlife that continues to thrive during this time of year.

Your Forest and its Founder
Join us on a winter walking tour of the woodland around the former home of our founder, Felix Dennis, led by Public Engagement team member and former assistant to Felix, Toby. On this gentle walk and talk you'll learn about Felix’s background, what brought him to Dorsington, and when his love affair with trees started. This 2.5mile walk includes the first woodland planted by Felix, The Arboretum he created, and Dorsington Wood where he is buried.
