The Unearthed exhibition, to be held at Heartwood Forest as part of a partnership with the Woodland Trust, will give spectators the chance to view the work of University of Herts students in a unique setting.

Photography lecturer Diane Bielik said: “Staging this photography exhibition has offered the first year BA students lots of really valuable challenges and opportunities.

“They have been asked to respond to a theme, work with an external client, produce work and stage a pop up exhibition in an unconventional outdoor space – all fantastic achievements for this group of ambitious young photographers.”

Woodland Trust site manager Louise Neicho said: “We’re thrilled to have Hertfordshire students display their work at Heartwood Forest again, it’s always a pleasure to see the art scattered throughout the woods.”

The free one-day event is open to all from 10.30am until 6pm with parking available at the forest car park on Sandridge High Street.
