Is there more than one characteristic of the tree that will help you be able to tell what that tree is? Can you create a comprehensive identification key that will help you 100% identify any tree in the park?

Where to find help If you look at the tree trail leaflets that Bruce Castle Museum created there is a wealth of information about the types of trees you will find in the park. Bruce Castle also has a website online that can help you. There are some excellent ecology and nature websites with their own existing identification keys to help you. Use the space below to make a note of any good resources you find. Did you know that the very large Oak tree in the middle of the park is nearly 500 years old?
