Romantic writers like William Wordsworth explored the wonder and beauty of nature, from the majestic fells of the Lake District to the humblest wildflower in his garden. To Wordsworth, trees were not only a source of wood to build with or to burn, but inspirational and beautiful living things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This day of free events celebrates our relationship with trees in art, literature and culture, from the Romantic period 200 years ago through to the modern day. Listen to fascinating talks, head out on a guided walk, or take a writing workshop with a poet \u2013 and, most importantly, spend time enjoying nature and the outdoors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Booking Page<\/u><\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/wordsworth.org.uk\/blog\/events\/the-literary-arboretum\/ \">https:\/\/wordsworth.org.uk\/blog\/events\/the-literary-arboretum\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Schedule<\/u><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>10.30-11.30am: Trees and the development of ecological understanding in the work of Beatrix Potter (Dr Penny Bradshaw)<\/li><li>12.00-1.30pm: Is it the sea you hear in me?: Speaking with Trees (Dr Polly Atkin)<\/li><li>2.30-3.30pm: Seeing the Trees for the Wood: Romantic Forests and Forestry (Professor Fiona Stafford)<\/li><li>3.50-5.00pm: Tree Talk and Walk (Dr Anna Burton and Dr Amanda Blake Davis)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Places for some events are limited.
