ON THIS MONTH: OPEN DAY Community Extravaganza Day Lessons in plastic at the Linklater In recent time the Lewes Railway Land Wildlife Trust has broadened its scope. It still runs fun and educational events for school groups, but has also started designing events for the wider community too. On Sunday 24th, there’s a good opportunity to find out more by going along to the Community Extravaganza Day. Over the past few months the Trust has organised three public events, “all designed to get people out on the Railway Land exploring and learning about the environment”, Education Officer Milly Hawkins tells me. The first, on ‘Habitats’, focused on “the wonderful dynamic mosaic of habitats at the Railway Land”, says Milly. The second was around “raising awareness about single-use plastics”; and, for the third, ‘Exploring water’, the group of participants built their own chalk aquafer, and learnt “how our precious drinking water arrives in Lewes”. All three of these events will be repeated on the 24th, and anyone is welcome – including families – to come and join in with whichever of them they fancy. “It’s about enjoying being in nature”, says Milly. “At the same time, we hope it’s educational.” There is also, at the moment, a Plastic Waste Awareness Trail winding through the reserve, which visitors are welcome to follow, whether on a guided talk, or solo, with a leaflet (which can be picked up from the door of the Linklater Pavilion). This consists of a lovely circular loop through the Railway Land via six beautiful hand-carved wooden signs, each one carefully placed, and carrying a quote pertinent to our whole debate and struggle with plastic-filled oceans. Milly took me on this walk on a crisp cold day, the last of January, when the ponds were frozen over. The quotes make an interesting contrast, ranging from Sir David Attenborough’s – ‘It’s not rocket science. And as we can solve rocket science, we can work out how to get rid of ocean plastic’ – to simpler, unattributed concepts like ‘We cannot throw plastic away. There is NO ‘away’!’, which appears evocatively, as Milly points out, right down by the river. (It’s by river that much of our plastic travels to the sea.) As for the open afternoon, Milly says the messages she’ll be hoping to get across, about plastic, fall into three categories: what we can do, as individuals; working together locally; and our bigger response, as a nation, even species. She talks about the idea of a circular economy – where, “instead of waste” – because, remember, there is no ‘away’ – the plastic we’ve accumulated “becomes a resource. This”, Milly points out, “is how all systems work in nature – cyclically”. The other thing going on that day is a celebration of the opening of the newly floored ‘Jolly Room’ downstairs at the Linklater, named after Dr Alison Jolly. This is open now for hire, including for children’s parties… Charlotte Gann Community Extravaganza Day, 24th March, 2pm- 5pm, free. The Plastic Waste Awareness trail will be there all month. railwaylandproject.org 45
