A 140 year old blue cedar tree had to be felled at Bulwark cemetery because it had become dangerous. The wood, suitable for sculpting, was enough to create 5 large scale sculptures. Grant money was obtained from the Forest Education Initiative and Adventa to fund part of the project. This is one of the sculptures, at the entrance http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3295721 to Chepstow Comprehensive School, where pupils in year 8 worked with wood sculptor Neil Gow to design a sculpture of 3 figures under the theme of Aspiration: a rugby player, netball player and guitarist. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3295803 to a view of the guitarist.
