Wood You Believe It

A tree-mendous photo grid has been released by The National Lottery to highlight its funding to The Woodland Trust of over £26 million via 120 grants.

The image celebrates Day 16 of ‘Just Imagine’, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the massive impact that £31 billion in project funding has had across the UK since the first National Lottery draw 20 years ago this year.

Through a series of carvings on tree trunks, the image showcases the areas to have benefited from National Lottery con-tree-butions, which includes the improvement of 700 parks, and the preservation of 70,500 hectares of wildlife habitats.

Over £31 billion of National Lottery funding has been raised for arts, sport, heritage and community projects across the UK since the National Lottery started almost twenty years ago.

Released on Twitter (@lottogoodcauses #JustImagine) and Facebook today, the fake property advert is the fourth in a series of 31 items to feature through January – one for each day and each £1 billion.

The Just Imagine campaign will run through the first four months of the year, with further phases including an original animation movie telling the story of funding, and other “positively disruptive” digital techniques, according to a National Lottery spokesperson.
