THE TREE OF LIFE

In 100 years time what will nature look like?

Pupils of Maesycoed Primary School (Maes Y Coed - The Field of Trees) and Young Friends of the Earth, worked with artist Anne-Mie Melis to explore ideas around biodiversity and how all living things are connected. In 100 years time what will nature look like, what plants and species will there be?

What will our future nature look like in 2120?
