Tales from Bluebell Forest

The Tree People need to gather berries from the Ancient Forest for their winter store cupboard.  Can they gather enough and get back before nightfall?  Will Alder’s decision to ignore Rowan lead to disaster! Can Robin save the day?

The Gathering

The days are getting shorter as the nights draw in.  The time to gather essential winter supplies is running out, but the storm is finally over.  Can the saplings gather their supplies, climb the fallen oak trunk and cross the raging river without getting spotted by the Giants?

A Tree Family Christmas

Essential supplies have been gathered and stored for the winter. Now all the hard word is done it is time for the Tree Family to celebrate and prepare for the Yuletide Festival  (which we call Christmas).  It will be their last gathering of the year and their most dangerous.  Can they find their precious tree and decorations and bring them safely back home?

Spring has sprung

The sun is shining and spring is in the air.  The saplings are enjoying their first day out in the forest following the cold, dark winter.  But supplies are running low and Grandma Guelder has a list of things to be gathered.  They collect their rucksacks and begin the journey, going deeper into the forest. However, Hazel spots something interesting and dashes off in the opposite direction.  Unfortunately she runs into a clearing with the other saplings following close behind making them all a target for a hungry predator.   

  Luckily, the only creature to notice them is a very distressed Robin! Can the saplings help Robin, gather their supplies and avoid the hungry weasel all before nightfall?

A Trip to the Seaside

It is a warm summer’s day and the Saplings had been playing beside the Heart Shaped Lake when Grandpa Quercus called them back to 2Trees.  They were to visit Great Uncle Dodder (who is very, very old) to take him some supplies from the forest, things he can’t always find along the seashore.  Alder really enjoys their summer trip to the seaside and especially enjoys seeing cousins Thrift and Squill again.

Flying over the Giant’s world on the back of Black Headed Gull is just the beginning of their adventure.  Can they save a seahorse tangled in plastic, harvest the samphire and rescue Hazel before gull returns to take them back to 2Trees?

Grandma Guelder’s Birthday Surprise

Grandpa Quercus wants to organise a surprise birthday tea for Grandma Guelder.  He plans a secret meeting with the saplings while Grandma is busy.  Cherry doesn’t really like keeping secrets, but realises this is a ‘good’ secret.  It is agreed that Grandpa Quercus will hide in his workshop and make his ‘surprise’ present while the saplings sneak off to gather supplies for Grandma’s birthday tea.  Hazel is side tracked when she spots Grandma’s favourite mushroom growing on a tree, races to grabbed some and falls into a deep spider’s web.  Will they be able to save Hazel and gather the ingredients for Grandma’s surprise tea?  Can Red Squirrel save the day?
