SUMMARY:42Words Artwork Exhibition - Ferry Meadows (PE2 5UU)
DESCRIPTION:42Words Artwork Exhibition Tuesday 1st September 2020 – Saturday 31st October 2020 8am – 6pm  \nLast day of this FREE exhibition at Ferry Meadows and other locations. \nCome and discover our 42Words pop-up art exhibition which is on display in four locations across Nene Park – in Ferry Meadows around Centre Point\, along the Bluebell Wood boardwalk\, in Thorpe Meadows along the Horse route and in Woodston Reach. As you walk in these different areas\, stop and reflect on the visual art or poetry displayed among the trees. \nThe 42Words art project\, funded by Arts Council England\, is our way of collecting the shared experiences of our community during lockdown and responding creatively to capture this once-in-a-lifetime event through art. We wanted to support local artists and involve Park visitors\, staff\, volunteers and local communities in creating new artworks for the Park. \nThanks to Arts Council Emergency Response funding we have worked with 14 local artists\, many of whom have had work cancelled or postponed due to Covid-19. We’ve had a great response to the project – with lots of words submitted by the public\, and the artists responded to the words and the Park through poetry\, painting\, drawing and photography to create a series of beautiful outdoor exhibitions. This has been an important opportunity to reflect on the importance of greenspaces and the arts in providing invaluable support to us all over the last few months. \nThe Artists involved: Clare Currie\, Faith Falayi\, Charley Genver\, Mark Grist\, Katy Hawkins\, Paper Rhino (Fiona Cifaldi\, Dominc Le-Hair\, Jason Duckmanton & Amanda Rigby)\, Prin Marshall\, Lee Mason\, Stuart Payn\, Charron Pugsley-Hill\, Malika Speaks. \nFind out more about the project and the artists here. \nTake a look at the artworks in their different locations here. \nThe Artists involved: Clare Currie\, Faith Falayi\, Charley Genver\, Mark Grist\, Katy Hawkins\, Paper Rhino (Fiona Cifaldi\, Dominc Le-Hair\, Jason Duckmanton & Amanda Rigby)\, Prin Marshall\, Lee Mason\, Stuart Payn\, Charron Pugsley-Hill\, Malika Speaks. \nContact 01733 234193 or at visitor.services@neneparttrust.org.uk for more information\, accessibility advice or directions. \n42Words Artwork Exhibition Saturday 31st October 2020 8am – 6pm  \nFerry Meadows Country Park\, Ham Lane\, Peterborough\, Cambridgeshire PE2 5UU \nA Nene Park Trust/Arts Council event.

SUMMARY:Creating the region’s very first ‘Tiny Forest’
DESCRIPTION:This December\, eco-minded organisations have joined forces in Peterborough to help create the region’s very first ‘Tiny Forest’\, with the aim of helping to restore biodiversity in the city and tackling climate change. \nThe charity PECT\, Peterborough Football and Sports Development Foundation\, Peterborough City Council and The Tree Council have teamed up to plant a Tiny Forest at the Nene Valley Community Centre in Peterborough (PE2 9RE) on 6th and 7th December 2020\, between 10am-3pm. \nThe team\, alongside volunteers\, will be planting a variety of wildflowers and 695 trees in a mixture of species to replicate the growing patterns of native woodland\, but on a miniature scale. It will create a fast-growing and dense forest in a tiny space\, which will deliver a range of benefits for wildlife and the environment\, including increasing habitat and food sources. \nThe new Nene Valley Tiny Forest may be small\, but it will be able to offer flood mitigation\, improved air quality\, a haven for numerous wildlife species and a space for people to connect with nature in an urban environment. \n“Tiny Forests are still relatively uncommon in the UK\, and this will be the very first created in the area\,” explains Councillor Alan Dowson. “l hope that other wards in the city will follow our example\, so that together we can create a network of green spaces to benefit wildlife across Peterborough and its surrounding areas.” \n“We are very excited to be working in partnership to plant a Tiny Forest\, because we all face enormous and immediate challenges around the climate crisis that need to be tackled with innovative solutions\,” explains PECT’s Tony Cook. “This offers a simple\, collaborative and natural-inspired way to positively change the local environment.  We hope local businesses and the government will hear about our environmental action and be enthused to support further Tiny Forests across the region.” \nThis project is also part of PECT’s ambitious Forest for Peterborough project\, which aims to plant over 230\,000 trees in and around the city by 2030. The team would like to thank Waitrose and Nene Valley Community Centre for their support\, in addition to Viridor\, Persimmon Homes\, and Postcode Local Trust\, a grant giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

SUMMARY:Creating the region’s very first ‘Tiny Forest’
DESCRIPTION:This December\, eco-minded organisations have joined forces in Peterborough to help create the region’s very first ‘Tiny Forest’\, with the aim of helping to restore biodiversity in the city and tackling climate change. \nThe charity PECT\, Peterborough Football and Sports Development Foundation\, Peterborough City Council and The Tree Council have teamed up to plant a Tiny Forest at the Nene Valley Community Centre in Peterborough (PE2 9RE) on 6th and 7th December 2020\, between 10am-3pm. \nThe team\, alongside volunteers\, will be planting a variety of wildflowers and 695 trees in a mixture of species to replicate the growing patterns of native woodland\, but on a miniature scale. It will create a fast-growing and dense forest in a tiny space\, which will deliver a range of benefits for wildlife and the environment\, including increasing habitat and food sources. \nThe new Nene Valley Tiny Forest may be small\, but it will be able to offer flood mitigation\, improved air quality\, a haven for numerous wildlife species and a space for people to connect with nature in an urban environment. \n“Tiny Forests are still relatively uncommon in the UK\, and this will be the very first created in the area\,” explains Councillor Alan Dowson. “l hope that other wards in the city will follow our example\, so that together we can create a network of green spaces to benefit wildlife across Peterborough and its surrounding areas.” \n“We are very excited to be working in partnership to plant a Tiny Forest\, because we all face enormous and immediate challenges around the climate crisis that need to be tackled with innovative solutions\,” explains PECT’s Tony Cook. “This offers a simple\, collaborative and natural-inspired way to positively change the local environment.  We hope local businesses and the government will hear about our environmental action and be enthused to support further Tiny Forests across the region.” \nThis project is also part of PECT’s ambitious Forest for Peterborough project\, which aims to plant over 230\,000 trees in and around the city by 2030. The team would like to thank Waitrose and Nene Valley Community Centre for their support\, in addition to Viridor\, Persimmon Homes\, and Postcode Local Trust\, a grant giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
