I’m very lucky to be working with the Forestry Commission as an ambassador at the moment, and I’m looking forward to getting back to our local forest, now that spring has sprung (she remarks quietly so as not to scare it off) *and* we’ve got a working car. (Knocking frantically on wood, and not really caring if that scares spring off after all!) As part of the arrangement we’ve been given a Discovery Pass, which gives us free entry/parking to our local site, along with a batch of other benefits. It’s a very worthwhile perk 🙂
And now I can offer you the chance to win your very own Discovery Pass.
It’s valid for a specific location, and you will need to stipulate which venue you want. See the full details here
The prize will be fulfilled by The Forestry Commission and the winner must be willing to provide full contact details, to be passed to them.
The pass is valid for 12 months and gives free parking for one car at the designated location.
There are additional benefits to the pass including
- A seasonal e-newsletter, with forest news and events
- Generous discount vouchers for shops and activities on and off site. Benefits differ from site to site.
Sounds good doesn’t it? You too could have your very own preferred forest location and get free parking there. And all you have to do to enter is leave me a comment, telling me what your favourite tree is.
You can have extra entries for any or all of the following:

My favourite tree is the apple tree. Yummy fruit, pretty blossom, chopped off branches are loved by small chewy pets and, if you get the right apple tree, you can climb them pretty well too 🙂
It would have to be the good old Oak tree. 🙂
I have also tweeted. Thank you, we love our local Bedgebury forest.
Great giveaway! I think it would have to be the mighty oak tree for me.

Mine would have to be the Willow, not sure why, Probably because it was the first tree I learnt to Identify. 🙂 x

Favourite tree is the one I used to stop at with my granddad when he took me out as a very young kid. Think that may be where and when I started to like trees.
