The Garden
The Garden is a short video filmed throughout 2022 /2024, documenting the Urban Garden, exploring the daily challenges of an Urban Fox and her cubs as they face the rigours, hardships and benefits of their chosen environment.
Foxes are one of the most recognisable wild animals in Britain. These wily animals are extraordinarily adaptable and as at home in urban and suburban areas as they are in the countryside.
The Fox Project, a UK-based charity dedicated to protecting the red fox, states that in 29 years of work and 15,000 foxes rescued, they are ‘yet to find a starving adult fox’.
The Garden Revisited in 2023
In 2023 I returned to the Garden, a location I had documented a year earlier, once again I was amazed at the variety of Flora and Fauna that thrives in such an environment. This small plot of land situated in one of the most deprived areas of the UK and located directly in the flightpath of a busy Northern airport is situated within 50 yards of a busy arterial road. Given the challenges of its location it is reassuring to witness the continuing success of nature.
