Tree of the Week! 🌳

White ash - Fraxinus Americana

White ash trees are native to North America and can reach a height of up to 100 feet. Mature trees have a round crown, and are said to be the largest of ash trees in North America. Even the trunks of old white ash trees have a diameter of around six feet! The tree has leaves with a dusty and lighter underside, and this is one of its distinguishing factors. In fact, the name ‘white ash’ is derived from the leaves of this tree. Another feature that helps in identifying a white ash tree is its flaky bark, which is greyish-brown in colour. The leaves turn a beautiful yellow-orange colour in Autumn, as you can see in this photo by our Ranger. It is designated as 'Critically Endangered' on the IUCN Redlist, so we are proud to do our bit to preserve this species in our Arboretum.

*Do you want to be more confident about taking you

*Do you want to be more confident about taking your class outdoors?*

The new Curriculum for Wales encourages pupils to spend more time outdoors learning in this exciting and enriched natural environment. Do you want to be more confident about taking your class outdoors? Do you want to learn more about how to incorporate outdoor learning in your daily planning?

Bute Park has the answer – we run regular outdoor learning experience days for school staff and educators to learn how the natural environment and being in nature can provide learning opportunities and support the health and wellbeing of everyone.

The outdoors provides children with a unique learning environment that will encourage play, discovery, independence, and confidence.
Opportunities for ‘real life’ learning help improve a child’s imagination, experimentation, and problem-solving skills.

We appreciate all the help we get from every single volunteer we have!
