The Yorkshire Sculpture Park's latest exhibition presents a rich and extensive exhibition of work by David Nash, tracing the evolution of the artist's 40-year career and offering a vivid statement of his life's work, including sculpture, installation and drawings.

This is the largest exhibition to date by an internationally acclaimed artist who has developed an eloquent understanding of trees, working with their traits to create sculpture, installation, projects and related drawings.

Photographic exhibition featuring work by 5 well known artists and photographers including BBC Wildlife presenter Simon King and war photographer Don McCullin. The aim of the event is to give local people the opportunity to find out more about how they can help protect the treasured forest. Two guest speakers are ancient tree expert Ted Green who will be talking about trees: past, present and future (7 October 2010 at 7.30pm), and Rob Kesseler who will speak about his photography (29 October at 7.30pm).

Tickets are £7.50 and can be bought in advance from the website.
