A treemendous (pardon the pun) range of family and adult events are on offer for families in the Lake District later this month – so why not buy some outdoor footwear and head on out there?

Taking place at Brockhole, the national park visitor centre situated on the shores of Lake Windermere, the park's leafy and blossoming trees and woods form part of two events in the region's packed programme of spring events.

On Saturday May 22nd, enjoy Tree Wisdom, a short walk through Brockhole's grounds led by a national park tree and woodland advisor. Appropriate footwear is advisable – so be sure to take adequate hiking footwear with you.

Taking place on Thursday June 2nd, the family-friendly Treemendous Avatar Adventure will encourage youngsters to be inspired by trees by building a den to protect from invasion.

Waterproofs and wellies are listed as essential for this event.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for adults and children to find out in their own ways the important role trees play in the natural environment – especially here in the Lake District where we are so lucky to have a rich variety of species and in such massive quantities," said Marina Ramsden, a national park tree and woodland adviser.

Given the popularity of the late May Bank Holiday and school half-term, people are advised to pre-book any events likely to sell out.
