The book "Don't Worry Son It's Just A Hole In The Ground" has been commissioned by the The Photo-Canopy. The ambition of The Photo-Canopy is to broaden the scope of the National Forest to new audiences and to establish the Identity of the National Forest, as a distinctive part of the Midlands. The Photo-Canopy promotes and explores the wonders of The National Forest through contemporary photography. The National Forest is a developing landscape that stretches for over 200 square miles. It overlaps parts of Leicestershire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire counties. The National Forest has a combination of fascinating rural and urban landscapes. Moreover it has a vibrant social and industrial history, which makes the National Forest a truly unique location.

The award-winning photographer Aaron Yeandle has been commissioned with an open brief by the Photo- Canopy to photograph the national forest. Aaron has travelled and photographed around the world but now for the first time he is returning to the region he was raised in.
