Surrey Schoolkids Publish Tree Book

14/09/2025

“The Thousand Year Tree,” a book featuring children’s artwork from Surrey, was published after a year-long project by Lucy Reynolds and Katie Hickey.
Funded by Defra’s Access for All fund, it aims to raise awareness about the conservation of mature trees.

Educational Outreach

The Surrey Hills Society took Weyfield Primary Academy students to Newlands Corner to learn about ancient yew trees, and their creativity inspired the book’s content.

Endpaper Competition

A competition through Surrey Libraries engaged children aged 4 to 11 in designing the book’s endpapers. Four winners received printed copies.

Publication and Distribution

Old Dungate Press printed 1,000 copies, available at Haslemere Bookshop and online at hive.co.uk. Profits will support conservation efforts. Copies will be distributed to local schools and all 52 Surrey libraries.
