JOIN YOUR LOCAL GHOST HUNT
Between the 5th and the 13th of July, people will be gathering across England to take part in a ‘Ghost Hunt’ in order to call on Forestry England to restore their local ancient woodlands. These are just the actions confirmed so far – if you’d like to know when more are announced make sure you’re on our mailing list!
If your local campaign our local group would like to host your own ghost hunt, please get in touch with us at ghostwoods@wildcard.land
The Ghost Hunt events will involve:
A guided procession through your local plantations with nature writers, poets, ecologists and/or campaigners.
BioBlitz: become an ecologist for the day and search for the remnants (or ‘ghosts’!) of the ancient woodland, including woodland species and native trees.
Art: taking inspiration from nature artist Andy Goldswothy, collectively create a piece of art using materials you find in the woodlands to represent the vast difference between timber plantations and ancient woodlands.
Organised in conjunction with a whole host of local groups and activists, we are excited to see how your area will help us to capture the public’s imagination and save these important ancient woodland habitats.
