Where Once There Was Softwood…..
This is Foxbury in the New Forest. This used to be a softwood plantation, but now the timber has been extracted and the National Trust are returning it to heathland. There is some planting of hardwood going on, and a constant battle against the invasive rhododendron, but with an army of volunteers (of which I am one) we are slowly and surely getting there.

BTEC – The ‘New’ New Forest
This was completed for “People in the Countryside”. It depicts a group of volunteers planting new trees in the New Forest in Hampshire, England. This was based on a photo I saw in the National Portrait Gallery in London called “Actors’ last Supper” by Alistair Morrison. I liked how everyone was doing something different in a posed shot. This wasn’t posed so though and it worked out really well.
