Ruskin Tree Walk film
In this movie short version of the Ruskin Tree Walk, launched by the Camberwell Society in conjunction with the SE5 Forum in early March, a group of volunteer presenters cast from across the Camberwell community provide compelling insights from leading experts about the Victorian influencer John Ruskin.
Ruskin – who lived in Herne Hill and Camberwell – was known for his views on nature and loved trees. Each segment of the walk is tied to a remarkable tree or interesting view within Ruskin Park. The film also features new illustrations by local artists and showcases a much-loved South London green space.
The film is available at this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
