Christmas Tree

Every year at Malham Tarn Field Centre we decorate some branches from the estate for our Christmas tree! This year was no exception, we have lovingly decorated our tree for the Christmas season! Our environmentally friendly version of our Christmas tree is a good way to use what is all around our estate, and we are never is short supply!
