EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Tony Kenwright, we witness the remarkable sight of hundreds of people making their way to Formby beach in England. It is early January 1991, and these individuals have embarked on a unique mission - to bring down their discarded Christmas trees. The significance behind this collective effort lies in the preservation of Formby's famous sand dunes. These majestic natural formations are under threat from wind erosion, which poses a risk to the delicate coastal ecosystem. By repurposing these once-festive evergreens, they will be utilized as stabilizers for the dunes. The image portrays a mesmerizing silhouette against the atmospheric backdrop of sea and sky. The sheer number of participants highlights not only their dedication but also serves as a testament to the community's commitment towards environmental issues. This snapshot from the 1990s showcases an era when awareness about conservation was gradually gaining momentum. It reminds us that even small actions can make a significant impact when it comes to safeguarding our planet. Tony Kenwright's photograph encapsulates both beauty and purpose, capturing a moment where tradition meets innovation in an effort to protect nature's wonders along England's North West coast at Formby beach.
