Winter in the Heart of England Forest Arboretum

Saturday 31st January, 10:00 - 12:30

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.

Nothing says spring like an ocean of beautiful bluebells. Join us on a Bluebell Open Day when you will be able to wander around Alne Wood, an ancient woodland usually closed to the public, where the forest floor bursts to life with colour every spring, and bask in the sight and scent of the Heart of England Forest’s very own ‘Bluebell Wood' - and don't forget your camera, Alne Wood really is a sight to behold at this time of year.
