George Goehl from Nashville, Indiana writes:
"Since 1973 I have made my living designing, crafting and selling metal sculpture. 
The idea is to take what I have to offer and then add your own creative style whether it is in design or technique. 
I particularly like working alone in my shop, using my hands to create something new. It's mentally refreshing and ending with a finished piece of sculpture, My hope is that these videos will act like planting a seed, a seed that will grow into a creative outlet for your own personal fulfillment."

In future Britain will have species like Ginkgo and Monkey Puzzle trees in its forests. There is need to increase tree cover, diversify planting and follow strict biosecurity guidelines to help protect forest, gardens and landscapes from climate change, pests and diseases.
