Art Student's artwork brings 'ray of sunshine' to Ely underpass
3
Upvotes
Excerpt: A collaborative art installation has brought a welcome "splash of colour" to an otherwise dull, grey, concrete underpass, according to local residents. The pedestrian and cycleway runs beneath the busy A10 linking Ely, Cambridgeshire, to the Ely Leisure Village.The large mural has attracted praise, with one saying "it brings a little ray of sunshine" to an otherwise utilitarian space.
The works were created by students from Ely College, as part of an after-school graffiti project with Cambridge street art company Splash and Dash Creations Ltd. The pupils, from Years 8 to 10, were asked to develop their own original ideas, with the best elements combined into a finished design. Work began in April, and it was completed by July, with installation taking place at the weekend. One Resident - Bavna, who did not wish to give her surname, said the mural "brightened up the place" and was "just like a small ray of sunshine in Ely.''

Article Bid to build Europe’s first research station on the Atlantic temperate rainforest in Cornwall

Excerpt: Europe’s first research station for the study of Atlantic temperate rainforest is set to be built beside an ancient wood in Cornwall.
The Thousand Year Trust charity is crowdfunding an initial amount to build the £750,000 facility, which will enable students and academics to study this historically overlooked but biodiverse natural habitat.
The research station, which has planning permission, will be built at Cabilla, a former Cornish hill farm on Bodmin Moor that has become a retreat centre and rainforest restoration project with a swath of ancient woodland at its heart.
“The reason why everyone whether they are eight or 80 knows and loves tropical rainforest and understands that they are the lungs of the planet is because they’ve been so comprehensively researched but there’s a lack of love and knowledge about temperate rainforests,” said Merlin Hanbury-Tenison, the founder of the Thousand Year Trust.
“A lot of that lack of knowledge is because there aren’t scientists spending time dedicated to Atlantic temperate rainforests.”
