Further details with prices and ticket booking, which includes an evening reception at St Barbe museum in Lymington, are available from: stewardingthesoil.co.uk WaterCAN members have been sharing information on books with an environmental theme which they have found stimulating and inspiring. Highly recommended is “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer, described as beautifully written and “offering a more meaningful and sustainable alternative to our current relationship with nature” A second recommendation is “Incredible! Plant Veg. Grow a Revolution” by Pam Warhurst and Joanna Dobson. e “incredible” refers to the “Incredible Edible Todmorden” project which has been running for some 20 years in the town on the Yorkshire/ Lancashire border and which provides a template for how a community can develop a sustainable, locally focussed lifestyle. Interesting reading for a winter’s evening. By the time this issue comes out there will have been several non-statutory consultation sessions on “emerging proposals for Solent Gateway 2”, which, if the project goes ahead, will have a signi cant impact on the Waterside community. is consultation session is open until 13th October, so there is still time to respond via solentgateway2.co.uk Waterside Cycling Action Group’s Facebook page has comments on emerging road change proposals linked to this which will also impact on transport within the area. On the good news front, another impressive display of artistic skill and imagination in the shape of the Hythe Scarecrow Festival, which not only demonstrated the community’s creative abilities but also highlighted new ways of recycling old clothing. Particularly impressive was Wildground School’s rainbow scarecrow display outside the library, which not only included recycled old clothes, but included a recycled Waitrose carrier bag on the green scarecrow.
