This brand new project is about enhancing people’s engagement with the local environment. It aims to bring people together to create more vibrant and sustainable places to live, work and play in and around Lewes District.

 

The project has a strong focus on giving young people opportunities to bring their voices forward and empowering them to take part in:

        Strengthening climate resilience

        Increasing biodiversity

        Enhancing wellbeing by connecting with nature

 

We will also be supporting local environmental groups with the development of learning resources, outreach and trainings for working with young people, depending on their individual requirements.

Underpinning the project is the concept of Blue and Green Infrastructure and the many benefits it brings to our local communities.

Blue and Green Infrastructure - What is it?

BLUE refers to the water body elements in our local environment. Examples include: rivers, lakes, canals, reservoirs, ponds, rainwater collection butts and raingardens.

 

GREENrefers to the land-based elements: Trees, fields, parks, woodland, hedgerows, street verges, soil, community gardens, window boxes, compost heaps, green walls and roofs to name a few.

 

INFRASTRUCTURE is how these elements are designed to interconnect within a multifunctional network providing multiple uses and benefits such as:

Increased biodiversity, severe weather adaptation, carbon capture, active travel facilities, wildlife habitat and wellbeing.
