Description
Explore the rich folklore of Britain’s trees and woodlands. Trees shelter spirits, witness history, and inspire stories, transforming landscapes into places of memory and belonging. Dr Helen Cornish dives into how treelore connects people, places, and stories, considering how colonial expansion reshaped landscapes and ideas about nature.
Folklore reminds us that landscapes are made of memory, imagination, and relationships. Join us to learn how trees are living witnesses through which people remember the past and imagine the future. Bring your curiosity and questions for the Q&A session. Get your tickets now!
