What We Do at TWIG

In partnership with Forestry Commission, Scottish Natural Heritage, DCC Forestry Section and the Countryside Rangers, TWIG is responsible for the organising of the Woodlands for Yew Marquee.

The Woodlands4Yew marquee is an integral part of the overall festival and hosts a wide range of environmental and forestry organisations, providing everything from information to practical demonstrations.

In the Woodland4Yew marquee in 2018 visitors were inspired by wood carvers, stone masons, forestry workers and much more. In addition to the many activities on offer, the Woodlands4Yew marquee showcased a woodland central display which was very popular and gained a Gold award in the shows Discretionary Award category

Camperdown Park is now part of the National Tree Collections of Scotland. This recognises the highest quality specimen tree collections in the country and is coordinated by Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. In celebration of this achievement, a Camperdown Tree Trail was launched at the Dundee Flower and Food Festival in 2012. The trail highlights the park’s notable and provides interesting information on the park’s arboricultural history.
