SUMMARY:A Conversation with Nature - art installation by Jane Young
DESCRIPTION:Look out for a temporary art installation by Jane Young amongst the trees at Bowlees between 12th October and 30th November. \nAbout the artist\nJane Young is an artist based in Teesdale who is just at the end of studying MA Fine Art at University of Sunderland. Since 2012\, she has worked as an Artist and Creative Encourager in and around the North East of England. \nJane’s work focuses on art for health and wellbeing within the community. Over the last eighteen months\, and following the Covid-19 pandemic\, she has developed ways to engage the community in addressing concerns around the climate emergency and the threat to our environment\, and has explored how this approach links to states of health and wellbeing. Jane’s work is a collaboration with nature and draws attention to the fragility and beauty of the environment. \nHer installations have been created in the natural settings where she has taken her walks throughout the course of the pandemic and are recorded in a series of videos and photographs on Instagram: www.instagram.com/janeyoungart \nA Conversation with Nature\nJane says: \n“In my work I explore our relationship with the natural world – a voyage of discovery which in turn enables us to become more aware of ourselves. This creates a SelfScape – a keener sense of self and our part in the wider ecology of place which in turn can help with our own and the community’s sense of health and wellbeing. \n“It is my hope that the work I create will help ensure that the appreciation of the natural world does not disappear now that life is getting back to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic – indeed to make certain that\, into the future\, we develop a more sustainable way of living\, caring for and engaging with our environment; a new normal.” \n

SUMMARY:Nature's Calendar at Talkin Tarn
DESCRIPTION:Nature’s Calendar at Talkin Tarn\nCome and celebrate the changing of the seasons and learn how to record the signs of autumn in your area for the Woodland Trust’s Nature’s Calendar database. We’ll meet at the log cabin for 10am and head out on a family friendly walk where we’ll encounter trees beginning to take on their autumn colours. \nNo prior knowledge is necessary\, as we’ll go through the identification of some common trees on the day. Afterwards\, we’ll have lunch and look at how you can upload your own records into Nature’s Calendar. \nNature’s Calendar is a long-standing citizen science project\, hosted by The Woodland Trust\, which dates as far back as 1736. By uploading records of seasonal changes onto the database\, you can help scientists answer questions such as what effect weather has on wildlife\, and whether climate change is affecting timings in nature. \nThis event is open to everyone\, including families\, although the terrain may be uneven so please ensure you have suitable footwear.  The walk will take approximately 2 hours so bring appropriate clothing and a packed lunch. Places are limited so booking is essential. \n\n\n\n                \n                \n\n\n
