Event Details

 

As part of the legacy of The Long View project, writer, Harriet Fraser and photographer, Rob Fraser are working with FotLD to build three treefolds across Cumbria.

The second of these, “treefold:east” was constructed near Sunbiggin Tarn on Little Asby Common in August last year.  It has now been confirmed that a tree planting is due to take place at the treefold at 11am on Wednesday 21 February, involving a group of volunteers from Friends of the Lake District.

There is an open invitation to people from the local community to attend the planting.

The location of the new treefold, is within sight of the black-and-white sign post where the road between Sunbiggin Tarn and Little Asby meets the road to Mason Wath.  See map below.

The Long View project is one of eight Charter Art Residencies across the UK, all supported by the Woodland Trust.

ATG Activities

We will be working with local landowners to identify small areas of land that can be used to plant trees or hedges. Occasional requests will go out to members, seeking volunteers to survey areas of land to assess the age and health of trees and to identify possible planting areas, as well as to take part in planting trees and hedges. These activities will normally be scheduled to last for no more than three hours.

The Tree Group has insurance to cover members carrying out these activities.

COVID Policy (Feb.2022)

Unfortunately Covid-19 has not gone away, and we still want everyone to feel safe whilst being able to enjoy the film.

  • We use ‘cabaret-style’ seating around suitably spaced tables.
  • We recommend that you continue to wear a face covering when moving around the village hall, though this may be removed whilst you are seated.
  • It would also be appreciated if you could complete an antigen (lateral flow) test before attending.  (We are more than happy to refund your ticket should your test unfortunately prove positive.)
