Tree News Assignment
Working with The Tree Council’s newsletter/magazine, Tree News, to photograph a tree planting event organised by Community Environmental Group Andover Trees United and global initiative Plant for the Planet
ROOTING FOR TREES EXHIBITION AT GLA, CITY HALL
26 – 30TH MAY 2014
• Project about The Tree Council’s Tree Wardens, who volunteer to look after and plant trees. Part of the GLA’s London Tree Week
• Sent out mail merge asking if people would be interested in being interviewed and photographed
• Arranged meetings with 8 subjects, and emailed a couple of questions for them to answer beforehand to develop upon during interview
Summary• Developed team work, communication and organisation skills
• Developed confidence in a professional setting
• Given the charity an exhibition which they/I can use in the future
Good Points:
The exhibition! And working with a lovely team of people who did everything to make my work placement a pleasant experience
Bad Points:
The organisers of the exhibition space at City Hall are not very organised! I would allow more time, if possible, to complete a project like this, especially with other coursework from other modules
