Giant artwork is revealed at local landmark - and you can join The Flock A
flock of 10,000 birds is coming to roost on the lawns of Wentworth Woodhouse in Rotherham…
Each bird will be a symbol of freedom and
mark how communities and families pulled together in the Covid-19 crisis. Made of wood, the birds will form a huge art
installation in the shape of a giant tree on the mansion’s lawns this autumn. The moving and thought-provoking display has
been developed by Midlands-based artists Julie Edwards and Ron Thompson of Planet Art, who hope their creation will inspire local people to engage with the arts, culture and heritage on their doorstep. “The Flock will become a piece of social
history,” said Julie Edwards. “We hope people of all ages and walks of life will use the birds as messengers for their reflections on life during lockdown, and also add their thoughts on Wentworth Woodhouse.” Birds can be decorated with words, collages
and images and already a number of local schools are getting involved. It is free to take part, but Wentworth
Woodhouse Preservation Trust hopes people who can afford to will sponsor birds for local community groups or make a donation towards the Wentworth Woodhouse Fundraising Appeal. During lockdown the house has been closed
and the charity has been unable to generate income to help it carry on its important restoration work. From 20 July, staff and volunteers have been out in local villages and Rotherham town centre,
‘The Flock
distributing birds for members of the public to take home and decorate. Collection will also be arranged. Visitors to the mansion’s gardens, which
will become a piece of social history’
Colourful birds that will make up part of The Flock
opened up on 4 July, can take part in bird- decorating workshops outside on the lawns in family bubble shelters. Government guidelines on social distancing rules and safety will be carefully followed. “We want everyone to join in and fly with The
Flock, “said Sarah McLeod, CEO of the Trust. “It is going to be a stunning and emotional
display marking the biggest event to impact on our lives since the Great Wars.We believe people will flock from far and wide to see it.” People unable to get to the gardens or pick-up
stations, can request a paper template via email to print out, decorate, and send back. To request a bird or make a donation, contact
campaigns@wentworthwoodhouse.org.uk or look out for distribution points in July, August and September at Elsecar Heritage Centre, Rotherham Outdoor Market, Wentworth Woodhouse, St John’s Green, Kimberworth Park; Thorpe Hesley Recreation Ground, Clifton Park, Greasbrough playing fields and Hoyland High Street. Planet Art’s The Flock will be the first of three

Gardens and Elsecar Heritage Centre in Barnsley. Wentworth & Elsecar Great Place is a three-
year partnership between Barnsley Council, Rotherham Council and the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust. The partnership has delivered a range of

www.wentworthwoodhouse.org.uk Revolutionary recycling tech is rolled out
A visionary recycling technology, which is being sold and manufactured by a Worksop-based business in the heart of the Sheffield City Region, is set to take the UK by storm as the country looks for new ways to achieve targets set out by the Government Environmental Plan. Carlton Forest IRR Waste2 Energy, a subsidiary
of Carlton Forest Group, is now set to supply its continuous pyrolysis technology to businesses, urban regeneration schemes and local authorities across the UK and is the only one its kind in the UK. “Our technology is quite simply game changing
and presents new opportunities for the UK to explore how it can responsibly deal with its hard to recycle waste such as end of life tyres,” said Graham White, Group Commercial Director, Carlton Forest Group.
The technology is ‘game changing’ “The technology is environmentally friendly and
can integrate with business plans to achieve sustainability targets due to its ability to generate energy, useful by-product consumables and support day to day business operations through heating and chilling applications.” The continuous loop pyrolysis technology can
be installed and commissioned for any business. All that is required is a separate space to house the plant and the technology can be specified to
the individual needs. Graham added: “Hugely ambitious targets have
been set by our Government and we believe it lies, not only with the public sector, but the private sector too to utilise recycling as power generation. It can assist with achieving sustainability goals of their business and minimise the environmental impact wherever possible. “Generating energy while using hard to recycle
waste materials such as end-of-life tyres in the UK can only deliver a positive impact and we look forward to an ongoing programme of education across all sectors of the UK.”
