The Saltmarsh Project: AN EDGE PLACE

The Saltmarsh Project has evolved to restore around 10 acres (4ha) of saltmarsh within the Dart Estuary, developing a collaborative way of working and helping us all to better understand this complex and interdependent community.

Saltmarshes feature in the flow of energy and material between land and sea. They form as soft edges, not hard. Through this restoration process, what are we learning about softening boundaries, working with nature, resilience, adaptation?

Meet the TEAM, ENJOY THE WHOLE STORY
With team members and The Saltmarsh Artist Collective.
Each team member has contributed a specific set of skills to the Project, from biological surveying with drone and LIDAR imagery, applying ecological knowledge, coppicing in woodland, doing the work–boots in the mud, to sharing the story locally and globally and interpreting saltmarsh essence through the arts. Join us for this evening of celebration and conversation where we see the project as a whole and consider how the work might take root.

About our previous event at Totnes Cinema:

 “Many thanks for such a beautiful event last night. It was a masterclass in the power of combining arts and sciences and reconnected me viscerally and practically with the estuaries and saltmarshes of the Dart. It was wonderful to see the passion the project inspired in artists and scientists alike.”
