Every tree has a story. Only one boy can hear them. 🌳

When Alfie discovers the paper around him holds the living memory of the forest, he must act fast before the chainsaws arrive.

Brought to life through a magical mix of actors, puppetry, shadow play, and storytelling, The Truth About Trees is coming to RWCMD - a wonderful family adventure about listening closely to the world around us.

Mae gan bob coeden stori. Dim ond un bachgen all eu clywed. 🌳

Pan fydd Alfie yn darganfod bod gan y papur o’i gwmpas atgof byw o’r goedwig, rhaid iddo weithredu’n gyflym cyn i’r llifiau cadwyn gyrraedd.

Wedi’i greu gyda gwead hudolus o actorion, pypedwaith, chwarae cysgodion, ac adrodd straeon, mae The Truth About Trees yn dod i CBCDC - antur gwych i’r teulu cyfan am wrando’n astud ar y byd o’n cwmpas.
