Did you know? We could soon lose almost every field for miles around us…

• If the Botley West solar farm is constructed, up to 3,400 acres of our precious local countryside will be covered with 1.5 million solar panels for up to 40 years.
• It is claimed that at the end of 40 years, this enormous solar farm will be removed.
• Forever Fields 2023 is asking local people to record their experience of these beautiful fields now, because they may soon be lost for decades.
• The experience can be paintings, drawings, photographs, sound recordings, video and creative writing.

What will Forever Fields 2023 achieve?

1. A Forever Fields Art Exhibition later in 2023 where the paintings, drawings, photographs, sound recordings and video can be seen and heard by the general public.
2. A Digital Art Archive of our precious local landscape in case it is needed as an important reference point in returning the land to green space and countryside in the future.
