Blog - Winter 2017

Bernard Rymer, our Finance Trustee, left in August. For several years, Bernard took up the mantle to lead us through the Westonbirt Project ensuring our cash continued to flow and the charity remained in a financially stable position.

Westonbirt relies on our incredible team of volunteers to help maintain the arboretum and ensure our visitors enjoy their day out.

On Tuesday 7 November the Government’s Forestry Minister, Therese Coffey published a ministerial statement on the Future of the Forestry Commission. Andrew Smith tells us what this means for the Forestry Commission.

As part of the Westonbirt project we’ve really enjoyed developing visitor learning resources.

You had lots to share about the spectacular autumn colours at Westonbirt this year.

Here at Westonbirt, we’re always on the lookout for exciting new ways to engage people with the wonderful trees we care for. In August 2015, we launched our very own TreeQuests app.
