Want to tell apart beech and hornbeam? Maple and sycamore? Ash and rowan? Simple yes/no questions will quickly guide you to the colour illustrations for each tree
Text on the reverse side covers the features of each tree, including leaf shape, flowers, bark, fruits and seeds, habitat, origin and commercial use
Having decided your specimen is a tree, the coloured flow chart will provide you with a name
You can then check your identification using the tree identification guide
You do not need to be an expert to use our tree guide
Even if you are a beginner you should be able to put a name to the common trees found in your area
But please don't just stop at finding the name
The guide shows you how trees of different types can be useful to us
Since most people now live in or near large towns and cities means that we may be unaware of the importance of trees and woodlands
So by discovering the names of nearby trees, all sorts of interesting facts can be uncovered, hopefully leading to action to protect and conserve our woodlands in the future
The FSC Tree name trail was produced in partnership with the Forestry Commission
