Green spaces on our campus

Winter Campus Tree Trail

A 45-minute trail created by our tree experts at LEAF, guiding you to eleven of the most remarkable trees on campus, including Giant Redwoods, Japanese Maples and a centuries-old White Willow.

Our University of Leeds tree trail was created in collaboration with the United Bank of Carbon to celebrate the massive value of trees to campus life. The trail highlights the value of hosting a range of species and the results of the i-Tree project – in which academic staff and volunteers calculated the total carbon stored by campus trees (over 500 tonnes!). We hope you enjoy the trail!

Directions are available via Google Maps. We expect the trail will typically take 40-60 minutes. You can also download a printable leaflet (PDF), containing the trail map and a brief summary for each tree, as well as a plain text version of the leaflet (PDF), compatible with screen readers.
