Treefest

Treefest 2011

Treefest 2012: 25-27 August

Treefest is Westonbirt, The National Arboretum's signature summer event that incorporates camping, woodcraft demonstrations, exhibitors, family activities and local live music. The result - a festival that truly celebrates all that our trees and nature inspire!
