GoGreenRoutes - Nature Walk

There are 19 local taskforce members.

  • Go Green Routes Workshop Saturday 5th March 2022 (Pic Alan Place)

Led by Landscape Architect Esther Gerrad, 25 participants physically walked the route looking at existing natural assets, mapping areas for planting and exploring stop/pause/play points along the route.

In groups, participants explored:

  • Factors such as sunlight / Weather / Views / Wind / Safety
  • Features on the route that allow for places to pause/rest/sit
  • Opportunity areas for planting, ground cover

Please see the map below showcasing participant’s ideas for a seedbed intervention. A natural play area​ incorporates some of the ideas using natural materials onsite to develop a space for both playing and greening. The location of the natural play area is marked by the three little trees in the drawing (halfway point).

The official opening was Saturday 9th July @ 2pm - 4pm, with an interactive nature workshop.
