ATF Spring Field Event 2020

Come and join the ATF at this Spring's field event, which takes place at Stanway House, near Cheltenham.

Thanks to the newly formed Gloucestershire group (whose official launch is a part of this trip), and by kind permission of Lord Wemyss, we have an opportunity to visit parts of this estate not normally open to the public. It is an estate with many layers of history evident in the landscape and trees visible today, with a fine and varied collection of ancient, veteran, and other notable trees.
