Music for Trees, Regent's Park
This is a free app that offers original pieces of classical music, specially composed to be listened to under the trees in an area of Regent's Park. It's well worth a visit to discover the calming and immersive combination of nature and sound.
Inspired by one of our tree specialists, we worked with the Royal Academy of Music who created compositions based on each tree. See the trees up close in a new way, learn more about them through the information on the app, or just close your eyes and let the music take you away.
The Music for Trees app is coming soon
When Music for Trees officially launches we will publish a more in-depth look at the creation and development of this amazing mobile app.
St. James's Park Tree Walk
Take a relaxing walk around St. James's Park and learn about the many different trees that can be found within its grounds.
Our handy printable guide will help you to identify native British species as well as a variety of non-native species introduced to Britain from Europe, Asia and the Americas. Colourful illustrations on the map show each of the trees alongside their leaves and seeds, making it quick and easy to identify each one.
The St. James's Park Tree Walk is approximately 1.3 miles long and the circular route is marked clearly on the map - in addition to the important buildings and park landmarks that you will discover on your journey.
