Greenbelt

Bristling with life

Time for a pilgrimage. A trip to see the Tree of Life before heading off to the last Greenbelt Management Group meeting before the festival we borrowed its name for.

I knew the basics: decommissioned weapons transformed into a sculpture of a tree. What I'd not expected was to see the tree bristling with life. A monkey is scampering up its trunk; a bird is swooping beneath its branches while a crocodile looks on from below.

It's a beautiful piece, and a fitting inspiration for the festival.
