Be among the first to view a stunning outdoor exhibition featuring photos and stories by 20 local people, celebrating the remarkable trees that shape Wigan’s landscape and heritage. The exhibition will remain in place throughout the summer, so there will be plenty of opportunity to visit. Visitors on launch day can join a guided TreeStory Photowalk at 11am or 1pm, take part in drop-in workshops on how to produce and upload their own TreeStory, and discover nature-based groups and activities across the region. There will also be a walkabout performance from “The Frog” to add a touch of magic to the day.
TreeStory Wigan is a community project that invites residents of all ages and abilities to discover and celebrate the incredible trees of the borough, from the wetlands of the Flashes of Wigan and Leigh National Nature Reserve to cherished trees in local parks, streets and green spaces. The project is delivered in partnership by Wigan Council, Open Eye Gallery and dot-art, building on the success of a similar project in the Liverpool City Region, and has been made possible thanks to generous funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
