Earth Walk in the Ivybridge Festival

As part of the annual Ivybridge Walking and Outdoor Festival, we had a short walk through the woods running alongside the River Erme.
We had a fun and educational time with activities about the ecology of our local area. Young people from last year brought their friends, parents and grannies along and it was an opportunity to take part in the Walking Festival.

RIVER ERME VALLEY INITIATIVE

 

A PERIPATETIC INVESTIGATION OF PLACE



mouth to source



This is an artist led initiative to create opportunities for re-engagement with our local environment. Arts as catalyst in stimulating participation.



Using multi-sensory learning and social ecologies the purpose is to to find new ways of re-connecting with our local area, I believe, necessary for future social and environmental change.



A "Civil Artist" in every community?



The initial Community of Ivybridge Project gives the history that has led me to extend this initiative to the length of the River Valley, broadening participation across more communities.
