Why are you interested in this project?

As a native of Greenhill and a keen photographer, I feel it would be interesting to marry my main interest with the environment in which I was brought up.

What do you want to achieve?

I would like to create a record of the current evirons of the area before progress eradicates what is left of a once semi rural community.
