River Plym Project Celebration and Exhibition
August 23 @ 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Join the Barbican Theatre, with support from Plymouth Sound National Marine Park, Devon Wildlife Trust and the University of Plymouth as they celebrate the culmination of an eight month exploration of the River Plym. The project has been made possible with funding from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation Blue Spaces Programme.
The River Plym flows from Dartmoor, to Plymouth, and into the sea. By connecting with the people who live and work throughout its catchment, the River Plym Project has focused on encouraging people to value and enjoy the nature on their doorstep, to create more space for wildlife and ultimately restore the river’s health.This event will celebrate all the connections and conversations that have taken place during this phase of the project, in which we’ve held workshops and events with over 30 diverse communities to explore their relationships with the River Plym.
The evening is an opportunity for those who have been involved in the project to see the result of their engagement and for those who are interested to learn more about the River, its inhabitants and surrounding, as well as those inspired by it.
