Green Man Tent

The Green Man will rise!

The Sherwood Forest Trust is the only landscape charity working exclusively in Sherwood. They are dedicated to the restoration of the landscape and to restoring man’s relationship to this land which is our home.

‘Green Man’ sculpture workshop : At Treefest the Trust will be running a communal heritage workshop on Saturday for all to participate in. This sculpture will be symbolic of the community spirit of Newstead village and of man returning to nature.

The workshop will take place in front of the Trust’s medieval heritage tent, situated alongside The Speakeasy Café. When completed the sculpture will be raised into position in ‘The Village’ area.

Treefest Story workshop : On Sunday the Trust will be running an intergenerational workshop to collect ideas and quotes from people around The Speakeasy Café to create a communal Treefest story.

Treefest Giant Lantern workshop : Workshops leading up to the festival will take place at Newstead Youth and Community Centre with Environmental Artist Rosy Hobbs. These are free and open to all ages – come along and join the fun from 10am – 4pm Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th July. The completed Artwork will go on display in The Village area. Rosy will also be delivering creative environmental workshops throughout the Treefest weekend.

Other Environmental organisations are welcome to display information in the Trust’s tent.
