The Heritage Tree has been warmly received by the nations media and press outlets

From broadcasters such as Sky News, BBC Breakfast through to local media interest, the Heritage Tree has sparked conversation across the UK and enlighten folk on the importance of Lottery Funding in heritage and conservation projects.

An art installation honouring seven “game changers” has been unveiled at Whitby Abbey as part of the National Lottery’s 30th birthday celebrations.

The Heritage Tree pays tribute to the “extraordinary impact” the seven have had on heritage and conservation, a National Lottery spokesperson said. The 5,400 sq m (58125 sq ft) artwork has been created using the abbey’s landscape and natural pigments painted on the ground to show the subjects’ hands holding the roots of a tree.
