Funding for the event was kindly donated by BMT, helping to bring together partners and community members in support of shared marine and environmental goals. e children were provided with handouts, magnifying glasses, microscopes and art supplies and were assisted to collect specimens, si through samples, identify animals e.g. crabs, oysters, plants and birds and to spot aspects of the foreshore environment including human impacts on nature. Films on the ocean and fossils and an interactive board provided by the NOC formed part of the programme, and the children were able to paint their favourite sea animals, and write their pledge for protecting the Better”, with a particular emphasis on insulation, heat pumps and solar panels. For help with insulation and reducing heat loss, switching to more e cient heating and solar panels and generating electricity contact them on freephone 0800 804 8601. On the 20th September Shaun Russell reprised his last year’s talk to WaterCAN at an “Inspiring Greener Roofs” event organised by Greener Brockenhurst. He reminded us of the bene ts of green roofs both in providing insulation and in promoting bio diversity in unlikely places in urban areas and highlighted examples from around the world. A WaterCAN member recently visited Edinburgh and noted the wide range of green roofs around the city. Stuttgart, in Germany, has the title of “Green Roof Capital of Europe”, having introduced, many years ago, a requirement that all new at roof buildings should have a green roof. A number of other towns and cities around the world have followed their lead. New Forest Turf Supplies have started to provide green roofs. eir website newforestturfsupplies. co.uk provides further information. Hythe Shed have been developing a green roof for wheelie bins. A wide ranging report produced by the EAT-Lancet Commission, involving 70 experts from 35 countries, and published in the Lancet, highlights the bene ts of the Planetary Health Diet (PHD), which sets out how the world can simultaneously improve the health of people and the planet and provide enough food for the expected global population of 9.6 billion people in 2050. More about this in the next issue. And nally, good to see Hythe Fire Service agreeing with us and awarding their Best Community Scarecrow title to Wildground School!

A fascinating day, not least for the volunteers, some of whom have walked by the site, which of course has historical links to hovercra development, thousands of times without knowing much about the life it supports. Who knew, for example, that you could nd fennel growing there, along with “sea beet”, the wild ancestor of sugar beet, beetroot, Swiss chard and manglewurzels!
