I'd heard that The Yorkshire Carver was going to be working at Lotherton earlier this year. He was demonstrating his art, and carving for the visitors to see. We didn't make it at the time, but I thought I'd show you the carvings which were done on the pollarded trees in the Visayan warty pig's enclosure.
He's carved the leaves and seeds of six British trees into the trunks of these pollarded trees.
Ash
Beech
Walnut
Oak
Sycamore
Horse Chestnut
Shane Green, The Yorkshire Carver, uses a chainsaw to create his carvings. He's previously represented Great Britain at international chainsaw carving competitions in America. Apparently, he's created a new art trail in Roundhay Park in Leeds recently based on wildlife so I shall definitely have to go and see that.
