Cathedral of trees

[Andy Collins]

In Milton Keynes, just wondering if this is worthy of a visit? Apparently the "Cathedral" is based on the floor-plan of the Norwich Cathedral, the pics of it look good. Anyone been?

Anyone been?

 

Nope, but liking the imagination & principal

 

 

Obviously looks good from a high aspect, wonder if you get the sense of what the designer meant, from the floor?

 

 

good post Andy

latest copy of essential arb issue 35 has an article ‘The Forest City’ detailing some history of the parks trust and of their recent investment in a direct labour team of arbs

They are an indipendant dedicated team with responsibility for the management and maintenance of the grid road landscape, existing woodland and linear parks within MK , I am sure if you wanted to contact the The Parks Trust with a view to a visit they would be willing to put together, or even assist with, a list of sites to visit. They are most forward thinking re. ecological, habitat creation, management of their landscape portfolio people I have come across. ( slightly biased but I do live here )

Short answer yes worth a visit do some get some info 1st lots to see

with a little "european style" pruning the cathedral could be to shape!
