Call for Images Women in Forestry

Women in Forestry 2023

In a first-of-its-kind celebration of women in forestry, the Forestry Commission, Forestry England and Forest Research have commissioned The People’s Picture to create a photo mosaic. The mosaic will feature women from across the forestry sector and general public to illustrate the connection today’s women have with forests and woodlands.

We invite you to submit photos showing yourself in a favourite forest spot, either related to your work or enjoying woodland spaces. The mosaic will go on display at the Forestry England exhibition: Women in Forestry, The Lumberjills’ Story hosted at Grizedale Forest from May – December 2023. 

The exhibition will celebrate the contribution of the Lumberjills, a group of women who played a vital role in maintaining the supply of timber in WWII.
