Tree Tales

Tree Tales

Tree Tales is a journey into the narratives of five native UK trees, each rich with captivating stories and profound connections to cultural heritage.

From the mighty Oak, steeped in Irish and Celtic mythology, to the ancient Yew, standing as a sentinel in churchyards with its tales of resilience, these trees are pillars of cultural heritage and ecological wisdom.

As you explore these tales, you will uncover the rich myths and legends surrounding these trees and learn how they have been intertwined with human history and culture.

Myths

Our goal with Tree Tales is to ignite your curiosity and deepen your reverence for nature.

Through the lens of these stories, we hope to inspire you to become custodians of the forest and champions of environmental stewardship. Together, we will discover the interconnectedness between cultures and nature and find our place within the natural world.

We look forward to embarking on this journey with you and seeing how you will bring these stories to life.
