The ghost forest comes to Oxford

Have you heard about the Ghost Forest Exhibition?

This was created by artist Angela Palmer who incredibly got permission to export 9 bases of giant rainforest trees and mount them as an exhibition to demonstrate what destroying the rain forests means. They were secured from a sustainable forest in Ghana and the exhibition was originally staged after enormous logistical problems in Trafalgar Square and then at the Copenhagen climate change conference.

I wanted to see it in London but missed it. However, I had the great good fortune to be in Oxford last weekend and discovered that the whole thing had rocked up outside the Pitt Rivers Museum, just by the University Science Labs.

Here are just a few pictures to give you the flavour.

It’s on until the end of the month. If you get the chance go and see it!.
