Celebration: Monday 1 September / 4pm–6pm / Open Eye Gallery / RSVP An extraordinary collaborative project brings together young voices from across Liverpool City Region to reimagine our natural world.
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, appointed by DEFRA, has developed a comprehensive Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for the area. This ambitious spatial strategy is designed to identify opportunities to restore and enhance our region’s natural environments, supporting biodiversity and creating healthier ecosystems for future generations.
To make this strategy accessible and engaging for younger audiences, they commissioned local art organisation dot-art and artist Joe Venning to work with six schools – one from each borough of the Liverpool City Region:
Liverpool: St Julie’s Catholic High School Wirral: Weatherhead High School Sefton: Peterhouse Schools Knowsley: Prescot School St Helens: The Sutton Academy Halton: Ormiston Bolingbroke
Together, they created beautiful nature maps highlighting the diverse and rich species found in each area. These artistic interpretations of our natural heritage are being exhibited here for the first time, connecting young people with the importance of protecting and enhancing our local environment.
