Help us to record the changing landscapes of Polesden Lacey - changes that take place as a result of our conservation work, but also changes that happen due to environmental factors. Over the next 10 years we hope to create a visual document that will show us how the landscape has evolved.

How to take part

There are posts located at key points throughout the grounds and estate at Polesden Lacey. They have been positioned in places that will specifically capture key areas of the estate, including those that are having, or will have, conservation work taking place, and those where we have concerns over the impact of climate change.

Having found a post, pop your camera, phone or tablet into the bracket, take a photo and email it to: polesden.photo.post@nationaltrust.org.uk to contribute to a visual record of our changing landscape.

Whether you're simply taking one photo whilst on holiday, or become an avid ‘Photo post volunteer’, your photographic contributions will be invaluable.
