Congratulations to the ESOL students at Suffolk New College for creating a new collection of environmental poetry. We hope it inspires other young people! Here is the link to the poetry (on page 14 of the March edition of Spotlight on Felixstowe) spotlightmagazine.co.uk/spotlight-marc… #ESOL

In today’s The Telegraph - this . It’s very dangerous propaganda and as ever it’s all about short term money . Can anyone put a price on the value of their children and grandchildren’s lives ? This idiotic rhetoric refutes science and slanders the excellent and essential Climate Change Committee

We love to inspire our members to create new art. We received this picture from local lady Joyce, and we love it! Wildlife conservation, community building and art can serve each other! #Felixstowe #FelixstoweNews #WildlifeConservation #TogetherWeCanBeTheChange #communitypower

Today is our 9th anniversary! We want to thank everyone who has helped us! Spotlight on Felixstowe published the summary below of our work. We hope it encourages other groups to develop their own community-based conservation projects :D #Felixstowe #BeTheChange

Help wildlife in hot weather by providing food, water and shade. Bumblebees can only fly for about 40 minutes before they need to refuel – so grow nectar-rich plants such as dandelions, lavender and cosmos to help bees and other pollinators. More ideas: bit.ly/3RImiqV

There are lots of vegetables that can be sown in July. Many can be grown in containers – so if you only have a small outdoor space, such as a patio or balcony, you can still enjoy fresh homegrown produce! Ideas: bit.ly/45Zffju #growyourown

We are pleased to share an important new film by the young British artist Lorcan Gould. His insights into liminal landscapes are brilliant. He is a fearless and experimental artist whose work should be widely known. @lorcangould06 #YoungBririshArtist youtube.com/watch?v=uwkpk5…

Did you know that our community-based conservation work, and our citizen science, has inspired an art exhibition by our Artist in Residence Charmaine McKissock? Here is a two minute film of the exhibition. Please tell us what you think: youtube.com/watch?v=EWd39P… #ArtistinResidence

Inspired by the #Furtherfield workshop on #Felixstowe as a Reimagined Coastal Town, local artist Zoe has created a powerful and insightful portrait of her broken Green Heart. It is Zoe's response to her imagined nightmare of destroyed local woodland. #thiscoastaltown

We've been making our own maps of local areas. Our maps include data and information which is of interest to us. Here's an example. Does it surprise you? Which data and information would you have included? One benefit is to help people engage more thoughtfully. #mapmaking #maps
