Dear GEM land
Seeking your help in a #Tree/False? Twitter campaign
The Greater London Authority’s 2015 London Tree Week runs from the 23 - 31 May, as part of which the Museum of Walking (@museumofwalking) will be running our popular Tree or False? walkshop, around the ‘Ice Age’ Tree trail in the gardens that surround the Imperial War Museum in Southwark. The trail includes specimens of each of the 34 tree species that colonised Britain since the ice age.
Beginning on Monday 20 April, on each day we will tweet a myth (or truth) about one of the 34 tree species that have colonised Britain since the Ice Age - using the hashtag #Tree/False? We will also include an image pertinent to the myth or truth. We would welcome as many people to participate in this as possible - please could you RT or fav these Tweets?
For those of you who use woodland as a learning resource, or manage woodland, parks or street trees, or work in conservation or undertake research at an Arboretum, or have a favourite tree trail, we would like to help you to promote your tree work too - why not Tweet a myth or truth about any tree species too? We can all help each other by re-tweeting or favouriting #Tree/False? Tweets.
Let us know your Twitter handle so we can follow you.

#Tree/False?
If you happen to have a base in London and can offer up some exhibition space, then the GLA are keen to hear from you - together we are seeking places where we can project images of trees (many we hope sent in via social media) - do get in touch.
Many thanks, Andrew
