Kent Heritage Tree trails

We created eight tree trails with accompanying leaflets to enable visitors to access and experience local natural heritage.

The trails were developed in conjunction with local councils, tree surveyors, community groups and schools. We also ran a one-day course on designing tree trails, to enable community groups across Kent to create their own.

Screenshot of Knole Park tree trail leafletTrails were created for the following sites (these are all PDFs between 1 and 3MB in size): 

  • Gravesend
  • Wye
  • Knole Park
  • Leybourne Lakes
  • Maidstone
  • Sheldwich
  • Mote Park
  • Brockhill Park

The trails are available here and distributed to parish councils and community groups in the locality. The trails are also published to a smart phone app created by TiCL, enabling people to access the trails on their phone free of charge.

Here’s the links to the Ticl apps (you need to enter your location before you can see the trails):

  • Gravesend
  • Wye
  • Knole Park
  • Leybourne Lakes
  • Maidstone
  • Sheldwich
  • Mote Park
  • Brockhill Park

The organisations, communities and volunteers involved in creating the tree trails reported that designing the tree trails was a valuable experience. Participants developed a greater understanding of their local area, learnt more about individual trees in their neighbourhoods and were delighted to be able to share their learning with others through the creation of the trails.
