Maryon Wilson Tree Walk app for iPhone and iPad

Details of two Tree Walks in Maryon Wilson Park, London.

The Friends of Maryon and Maryon Wilson Parks, a voluntary community group, encourage members of the general public to appreciate and use two beautiful local parks in Charlton, London.

It is said that the Lords of the Manor, the Maryon-Wilson family, collected tree specimens and planted examples of every native British tree in their parks, then known as Hanging Woods.

A member of the Friends group, Nigel Freestone, started to identify and plot the trees on maps, the Secretary and Chair of the Friends looked for funding opportunities to turn the map into a leaflet.

A grant from ‘Awards for All’ a Lottery grants scheme funding small, local community-based projects in the UK, made the creation of a leaflet, schools teaching and learning resources and websites possible.

We hope that the general public will enjoy learning about the trees and that there will be an increase in the number of visitors to Maryon Wilson Park
