Royal Seal of Approval For New National Forest Sculpture
A stunning new sculpture in The National Forest received a royal seal of approval recently.
HRH The Earl of Wessex was one of the first visitors to pass through the new iconic entrance way that has been installed at popular Rosliston Forestry Centre in South Derbyshire. The installation is part of the National Forest’s Visitor Infrastructure Project, funded by East Midlands Tourism (EMT).
The structure stands three metres high and creates a tree shaped archway through a log pile frame. The logs used in the sculpture were taken from the woods at Rosliston as part of the necessary management process, and stacked into the mesh frame as it was constructed on site (images available).
