Whispers from the Woods Poetry Trail

Walk the Whispers from the Woods Poetry Trail.  The trail is a culmination of a fantastic project inspired by young people of Derbyshire.

Having started as a project to encourage young people to reflect on being outdoors during lockdown,  the poem will be shared for you to enjoy as you walk through Bare Hills & Browns Field.

The 33-line poem entitled ‘Everlong /Evergreen’ has been painted onto locally and ethically sourced wooden slices by young ambassadors involved in the project. The trail was debuted at Timber Festival in July 2021 before being shown at Markeaton Park and Melbourne Festival.

Created by poet Dan Webber and produced by Arts Melbourne with thanks to the National Forest.
