In 2021, Chrysalis Arts Development (CAD) secured a ten-year lease on Marton Wood, a 6-hectare part-managed/part neglected woodland near Boroughbridge, NorthYorkshire. The wood inspired a pilot programme of ecological and climate research, educational, community and student art initiatives and consultation and environmental arts training.

Marton Wood, our latest Slow Art project, incorporates a group of unique and inspiring artists. We asked them to tell us a bit more about how they work, think and collaborate. How does the climate crisis or environmental responsibility affect their artistic practice?

Exciting and interesting species found at Marton Wood.
