Creative Placemaking presents… Explorers of Westburn Woods

01/06/2020 By Whale Arts

Memories of previous gatherings at Westburn Woods with WHALE Arts artists

Have you been down to the woods?

Introducing Explorers of Westburn Woods, one of WHALE Arts placemaking commissions. Pam, artist and Wester Hailes resident, sent 100 letters with photos via our Friday lunch packs and by post to let people know about the project.

If you would like to receive a letter and some photos by post, or updates about the project by email, then get in touch with us at WHALE Arts or with Pam. 

Above: How to access the Westburn Woods for your socially-distanced walk!

There are more photos, poems, information, drawings, news and info about the woods on this blog: www.explorersofwestburnwoods.wordpress.com We would be happy to add more!

Do you have any updates, stories, drawings, photos, ideas about Westburn Woods? Can you identify any of the trees there? Let us know here or email Pam westburnwoods@gmail.com
