This is inspired by the beautiful ancient trees at Lionwood nature reserve in Norwich. Trees are the ‘friends we need for life’, so doing all we can to show how much they mean is important. Download our Natural Wonder tree poem sheet here (link to the sheet) to write your own poem about trees.
Every November is National Tree Week in the UK – why not look into how you can get involved with tree planting this year? Or have a think about trees in your area that might need protecting. Learn about trees and how to care for them here.
Lionwood
Leaves roaring, flash of green.
Lionwood dazzling, super-powers. Oak. Chestnut. Hornbeam.
Trees, the friends we need,
for life.
So next time you see them,
tell them how much they mean!
Whisper, sing, SHOUT! SMILE. Beam!
Do everything you can to keep them.
