At our recent event in Belfairs Woods, the public created an amazing community mural capturing the goals of our upper catchment measures. Below you can see the Prittle Brook next to areas of woodland and farmland, with real life nature based solutions that will be implemented from Catchment to Coasts work.
See if you can spot a leaky-dam, a wildlife pond and vegetation buffers around areas of farmland? (oh and a stray penguin!)
The will be one of a three part community mural series, each representing a catchment area from the project. The next urban and middle catchment mural may demonstrate some water capture storage and re-use measures in action, such as water butts. The coastal and lower catchment mural might show some of our saltmarsh regeneration planting, or one of our flood warning beacons that will be co-designed with the community, or maybe even another stray penguin …we will have to wait and see!
