Seed Gathering Season 2016: Changing Views walk
Saturday 15 October
Meet 11am at Downhills Park cafe
By collecting and potting seeds of healthy trees found locally, everyone can start to cultivate a tree that may grow to change the view for a future generation.  Gathering seeds with children may even change their view about what they can achieve, as they plant, water and care for their seedling. 

Growing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance.  The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.

In Tottenham seven trees were planted in a ring over 400 years ago for reasons lost in time; the Seven Sisters area and the underground station are named after them. The seven trees have been replanted a number of times, always by seven sisters. 

The Tottenham Trees logo, shown on the right, is a silhouette of the Bruce Castle Oak with the logo of the Charter for Trees, Woods and People launched in November 2017, on the 800th anniversary of the Royal Charter of the Forest.
