​​#Noticethistree is a series of interventions about protest and
loss across the UK
​
NoticeThisTree Intervention No.6
is in Bristol
​
On Sunday 15th September 2024, we are inviting people to come together to ‘Notice This Tree’ as part of our 6th Intervention at
Cube Cinema, Bristol
(You can see what happened in a previous Intervention here)
​​​
​
The Intervention is in three parts:
​
NOTICE
Notice a tree - it could be a tree at risk, or one that has been lost – or simply one you love. We invite you to walk from a tree of your choice in any way you choose.
Information about the event and confirmed walks will be posted on the Whassap group. WhatsApp invite link is here.
Check the map to see which Bristol trees people have pinned and/or pin your own tree here

Some people will be meeting at the Bearpit (St James Barton Roundabout, BS1 3LY) at 3pm and start walking to the cinema at 3.40pm to arrive at 4pm.
​
CONNECT
At 4pm we meet at Cube Cinema. Here we invite people to contribute to our ever-evolving Mycelium Mundus tapestry, share stories and insights, and listen to the ever-evolving audio work which will play as people enter the auditorium to watch Katy McGahan’s film The Happy Man Tree (75mins, 12a, starting at 4.45pm) The central protagonist is a Hackney street tree and the film charts the attempts on the part of the local community to save it from developers.

REFLECT
After the screening you are invited to join a reflection on the issues that the film raises including the impact of the loss of mature trees and other natural landmarks in towns and cities across the UK. Here we ask the questions: Where Now? What Next?'
CONNECTION IS KEY TO THE INERVENTIONS
