ancient tree hunt Tree hugging with kids can be great fun & you can participate in the knowledge you're doing it for prosperity. This exercise includes using a computer, (digital) cameras & measuring as well as the ability to find ancient trees (if it takes at least a couple of people to link arms to measure the trunk you've found one). Make sure you accompany children so they're safe & choose parks, places with public access or permission from the landowner. There are pockets of copice and shelter belts throughout the peak district that would be great places to hunt, as well as the old estates. The ancient tree hunt is a uk project that wants you to record these aging trees. Here's how they suggest you do it: 1. click on an interactive map to record where you have found a tree (see links below) 2. add its species 3. girth size (and yes, we accept hug sizes) 4. and a photo A team of over 100 volunteer verifiers go to work, turning your discovery into a robust record for the Woodland Trust, Tree Register of the British Isles and Ancient Tree Forum’s £1.3 million project.
