Lady Park Wood
Lady Park Wood is a special ancient wood in the Wye Valley. Left unmanaged for 75 years, it has been studied and recorded for decades by renowned woodland ecologist, George Peterken.
George invited The Arborealists to work here over two weekends (spring and autumn) 2017 and respond in our own way as artists. A professional film maker documented the second weekend beautifully in a film which includes extraordinary drone footage of the wood.
An exhibition of some of this work continues at Monmouth Museum
The project is also documented in a beautifully illustrated book, Art Meets Ecology, published in 2020
