Tidelines Events, Activities, Projects
Find out what is going on, how you can get involved. We are run events exploring different aspects of the changing estuary and coastline. There are many ways to get involved including short activities you can do at home and upload via the website (e.g. maps, diaries etc), long term community research projects arising from community interest (e.g. estuary water quality), attending public events (e.g. Rachel Carson book discussion or High Water), volunteering to help with Tidelines activities, writing a blog for the Tidelines website on an estuary topic or contributing as an collaborator artist (e.g. film relating to the estuary). The subject is celebration and investigation of the changing estuary. A number of projects are ‘in the pipeline’ as we come out of Covid restrictions. Please join our mailing list or watch the website to find out about events or get in touch via email if you want to know more about how to get involved or about a particular project.
If you or your family want to get involved NOW you are invited to take part in one or more of the 5 activities you can find here
