Last year, I got the chance to experience a (frankly terrifying) trip in a scissor lift, taking me up to the very top of the trees at Kew Gardens, which as I came to appreciate all too well is home to some very tall trees.
This was during the construction of the treetop walkway, which has now been opened to the public. Designed by the architectural team behind the London Eye, the new attraction lets visitors bond with nature as they walk 18 metres above the ground. Why not check it out this weekend and get involved with some seriously high-altitude tree hugging?
Worth pointing out that Kew has a fabulous new website about trees, and the treetop walkway - www.kew.org/trees
