00:00and the landscape. We've gone on to work with some of the students after this project and some of

00:05their work have found places at the Hanapath and Gotcha Gardens, Motts Gallery and Windcast.

00:10There's some brilliant stuff here. So it's been a total pleasure to work with the RSPB who are

00:14always fantastic. Thank you Mark and the rest of your team. And now the final speech is from our

00:19Mayor George-Marie-Pierre.

00:22Hello, thank you.

00:24Mark, Ali, Goh, thanks ever so much. What a great collaboration.

00:31Mark, the nature, all out here on the country side on this beautiful evening.

00:37Nobody else couldn't worry we'd like to be. Are we all ready for a nice long walk?

00:42It was hilly on the way off, I was a bit like...

00:47Alright, so I've got some formalities to do.

00:49So, Heathwender Artworks is an annual art trail on RSPB Barn and Heath.

00:56It's such a successful project that it addresses the aims of all three partners.

01:04Here we go. Serial Arts, the University of Creative Arts and the RSPB.

01:09It succeeds in delivering outdoor, accessible, contemporary art and supporting students'

01:16artistic and career development, and building and interacting with new audiences.

01:22That's the first time I've been here.

01:24So, Barn and Heath is part of the Surrey Hills National Landscape.

01:30And we're all lucky to know.

01:33The Surrey Hills stretches across the breadth of the whole county.

01:37And he's home to a host of rare and curious species, nationally significant habitats,

01:44expansive views, as you can see here, and important heritage.

01:51This is a chance for emerging artists, and I've met a couple this evening.

01:55And my good friend, Sally, who I wasn't expecting to be here this evening.

02:02And she's a good friend. I've known her for a long, long time, Sally.

02:05And actually, we won't see it tonight. We'll definitely come and see it another time.

02:09Okay, so this is a chance for emerging artists to embed themselves in this landscape

02:14history, and respond to its geology, history, or ecology in new and vibrant ways.

02:21It also provides visitors, like us, to experience the heath in a new way,

02:27and learn from these innovative artworks.

02:31So, we're pleased to say that this art trail is free.

02:35What about that, eh?

02:37It's free, thanks, this is free.

02:39And it's available, as Mark said, to visit throughout the whole of the summer,

02:43right up to the end of Farnham's Craft Month in October.

02:47So, anyway, with that firm will do, I am formally and delighted to announce that the

02:52Heathland Artworks 2025 is now open to the public.
