Help us celebrate Tree Week 2026!
Help us decorate new labels for the young trees in the eastern corner of Chandos Park. We'll use paint pens and metal stampers to create durable tags for the trees. There will also be a leaf printing activity on the side

What to expect:
There are at least 32 trees! They were planted in 2024 as part of the park improvement works, which restored the Edgware Brook to a more natural state and created new wetlands to store water after heavy rainfall. We need to identify them, matching them to the plantation's plan. Then we will create labels so that everyone knows what they are!
There will be two types of labels: wooden tags, which can be written on and decorated with paint pens, and metal tags, which can be engraved using hammers and metal stamps.
