Cathy Fitzgerald interviews children at the OneOak project launch

Cathy Fitzgerald and children

Writer and radio producer Cathy Fitzgerald recorded an interview between Blenheim forester Nick Baimbridge and his son Ben, immediately before the tree felling.

Cathy makes audio tours for museums and galleries and is currently working on a radio documentary for the BBC about magic carpets.

She says that she is interested in OneOak because “I believe in valuing the resources around us – and it was a good chance to mess around in the mud!”

With our thanks to Cathy Fitzgerald.

Our fantastic voluntary film crew have produced a new film of the OneOak felling.  Eight hours is condensed into just four minutes, capturing the peace of the woodland at dawn and then the arrival of 250 children and several hundred guests to watch the felling.  Watch as the tree surgeon scales the tree to prepare it for felling, then the tree felling itself . Afterwards the forest scientists descend on the felled tree to start their work weighing every branch and twig, and many of the future wood users gather to look at the OneOak’s timber for the first time and discuss its qualities.

With our thanks to Charlie Beesley, Chris Baines, Bryn Walls, Sarah Simblet and Conrad Weiskrantz.
