National Memorial Arboretum RNLI Memorial Garden re-dedicated
11th September 2011
The garden dedicated to all the volunteers of the RNLI who have made sacrifices while helping to save lives at sea, has undergone a redevelopment with the help of award winning garden designer and TV presenter Chris Beardshaw.
RNLI volunteers raised the funds required to create the plot at the NMA, establishing a garden which had a sculpture of a lifeboatman as its centrepiece. The sculpture created by Andrew Fitchett, retains pride of place in the garden and was carefully integrated into the new design.

It is so named for its pink waters, caused by cyanobacteria in the water. The color is particularly visible during the dry season. The lake is also known for its high salt content, which, like that of the Dead Sea, allows people to float easily. The lake also has a small salt collecting industry and is often the finishing point of the Dakar Rally.

Senegal Fulani village goats in pen Senegal Fulani Village
(Contains 15 photos)
The Fulani of West Africa are primarily pastoralists, but are also traders in some areas. Fulani often spend a long time in the countryside, on foot, moving their herds; they were the only major migrating people of West Africa, though most now live in towns or villages. Wealth is counted by how large the herd of cattle is and how many cattle. Modern day Fulani such as these in Senegal are becoming more and more modernised gradually learning the ways of western life although many hold on fiercely to their ancient traditions.
