The magic of trees

a children’s conference

Devised by the Woodland Trust to increase young people’s understanding and appreciation of trees and woodland.
 

The Magic of Trees

A week-long conference held at Loughry Campus, Cookstown from Monday 4 to Friday 8 February 2008.

Over 400 children from 18 Northern Ireland primary schools turned out in full force for a unique opportunity to get to grips with nature.

Professional artists worked alongside the children to encourage an appreciation of trees, woodland and nature using creative media such as poetry, storytelling, photography and music.
