Ghost Forest @ Trafalgar Square – exhibition review
Photography by Mark Ellery
.
Ghost Forest is an original and ambitious art installation highlighting the connections between deforestation and climate change. It will feature 10 real rainforest tree stumps, most with their buttress roots still attached, positioned on Trafalgar Square. Nelson’s Column stands at 169 feet (over 50 metres), the approximate height these trees would have been in the wild.

Think we should run a Twitter based friendly photo comp!
