New NTCS Tree Trail for Camperdown Park

 

NTCS is pleased to announce the launch of a new tree trail at Dundee's Camperdown Park. The trail was launched on Friday 31st August to coincide with the Flower and Food Festival which took place over the weekend. The trail highlights 25 trees found throughout the park including the original 'Camperdown elm' – a mutant form of wych elm first discovered here in 1835 that has since been propagated and planted as an ornamental small tree in gardens around the world. Other featured trees include natives such as oak and lime, and some of the rarer and more unusual conifers like the 'Alerce' from Chlie and Argentina which is threatened in its native habitat.

 

Guided walks took place over the weekend to introduce festival-goers to the new trail. More in-depth information about the featured trees will be made available on a new Camperdown Park website which is set to be developed over the winter.
