The Wood and the Trees

“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful”

— Alice Walker

The Wood and the Trees presents photographs created by young people aged 10–19 as they explored ancient woodlands and green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

Through practices of present-moment awareness, participants used photography to notice, reflect, and connect with the natural environment.

Rooted in moments of quiet attention, the project invited participants to pause, engage their senses, and experience the living landscape around them. In this space, young people’s mental and physical wellbeing was supported, while deepening their connection with the natural world.
