Hiking

The Wood for the Trees is an art installation at the entrance to the Grizedale Forest Visitor Centre. The sculpture was designed by the London-based design collaboration muf architecture/art and was installed in 2011. It features a huge section of an oak tree that fell during the severe storms of 2005.

Hiking

This installation incorporates a sonic composition by lead artist Katherine Clark with composer and sound artist Neil Luck. The composition is based on the call of the hen harrier bird and includes fragments of recordings of Forestry Commission staff and musical instruments. These phrases of sound are played on a shuffle system organised by the DNA code of the Sitka Spruce, which shares an ecological niche with the hen harrier.
