An exhibition of photos I’ve taken in Scottish woodlands, while doing conservation volunteering weekends with New Caledonian Woodlands. These weekends are a great way to get out of Edinburgh, meet new people, do some useful work and see amazing places.
The photos range from imposing landscapes and huge trees to close-up details and tiny plants. They show the work involved in giving nature a helping hand, and some of the tools and techniques used.
The exhibition will run for several weeks, so if you can’t make the opening party (or even the apres vernissage), you can still check out the pictures. Just without the free booze and nibbles.

“Too often do we hear adjectives like fabulous, magnificent, incredible and fantastic applied to the undeserving. For once, these superlatives could be valid and truthful in conjunction with She’koyokh.”
Gordon Lewin, Clarinet and Saxophone Society
“To say that She’koyokh’s performance was accomplished would be a gross understatement.”
Oxford Times
