Water underpins everything in this project, artists Clare Whistler and Charlotte Still have dedicated over a decade to raising awareness to the importance of water in everything and promoting a deeper connection and understanding between people and the water that gives us life. This project is a branch of their overall, ongoing practice.
Working with local pond building expert Pete the Pond, and bat conservationist, Karen Hammond we will work with local community groups (and anyone else who wants to get involved!) to increase biodiversity at Russet Farm and create new homes and habitats for local wildlife, particularly bats and the insects and invertebrates they feed on.
Participants will be invited to learn how to build a small garden pond, a bat box, count bats flying through the summer night sky (to feedback data to the National Bat Monitoring Programme), but also to 'ponder', write, think about historical and mystical meanings that water can hold, learn about the boating history of the River Rother and connect to local landscapes together.
*Join us on Saturday 1 st February for a guided water walk with Charlotte Still and Clare Whistler. This will mark the beginning of this exciting project, come along to learn more!
