Echo Wood
Echo Wood is a landmark collaboration between artist Luke Jerram and charity Avon Needs Trees. It is a breathtaking new artwork made from 365 living trees.
Planted this winter, the native trees will slowly grow into a vast 110-metre-wide design. Blossoming at different times of year, pathways and avenues will be created to guide visitors on a journey through the forest towards a central circular gathering space, formed from 12 English oak trees. Echo Wood will take a century to fully emerge – but will endure for generations. Find out more.
