Get your voice heard and your hands dirty.

Creative workshop led by Mick Chesterman and live moss cultivation by Gillian Wrigley (Calderdale Sphagnum Moss Project).

In this session, you’ll start with an expert talk from Bridestones Rewilding and Gillian Wrigley, where you’ll learn all about the incredible role of Sphagnum moss on moorlands. She’ll explain how it acts like a sponge, slowing down rainwater and preventing it from rushing down hillsides.

After that, you’ll get hands-on with a practical session where you’ll learn how to cultivate Sphagnum moss plugs – a chance to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty!  

Then, you’ll choose something from what you’ve learned – maybe moss, leaky dams, or water butts – and create a campaign to share your message of how to reduce flooding in your community. You could come up with a catchy slogan, design banners or placards, or even record your ideas. There will also be some drama-style activities to workshop your concepts and bring them to life.
