This work is a selection from an ongoing project titled “The Urban Forest”. The work evolved out of a commission for The Mersey Forest, an organisation concerned with renewing the urban stock of trees and planting on areas of ground previously used for heavy industry, coal mining and refuse tips.

Within the urban environment the tree saplings are endangered and can be subject to vandalism. They are protected and supported with stakes and cages until they reach a certain size.

A more extensive gallery can be seen here.
