Trent College Arboretum Tours Autumn/Winter 2024
Tuesday 22 October 14:00 - 16:00
Friday 1 November 10:00 - 12:30
Former Head of Biology (1973-2004) David Pinney has been leading tours of the Trent College Arboretum for over 40 years.
With the first trees planted over 150 years ago, it is among the best in the East Midlands and one of the best school arboretums nationally. Renowned for its attractive spinneys set around the 45 acre school campus, there is even an 'OT Spinney' named in honour of Old Tridents.
David gives his time voluntarily and enthusiastically to the Arboretum and is delighted to share it with people who will enjoy seeing the several hundreds of trees, belonging to around 200 species, including some very rare varieties.
What to expect:
The content of the tour is aimed at an adult audience however interested children are welcome.
We will go ahead with the tour whatever the weather – so please come prepared!
Cost:
There is no ticket price associated with the tour however, we do ask for a minimum £5 cash donation per person (on arrival). Donations go towards tree planting and care in the grounds of Nyacaba Primary School and Gowan Mt. View Academy, the two Kenyan schools that Trent College is very proud to have been raising funds for, for 20 years.
