By Newhaven Primary School
Students from Newhaven Primary wanted to raise awareness in their local community about migratory shorebirds. Through the Kids for Catalyst program, they worked with Jess Brady, Conservation Officer, to create an art piece for the Wall of Wings exhibition. This exhibition is a project by local activist and artist, Kate Gorringe-Smith, who is passionate about sharing knowledge of these magical birds, which also happen to be some of the most threatened species on Earth. Evidence shows knowledge is one of the key factors in inspiring people to take action to help protect the planet and most people aren’t aware of migratory shorebird species. Art is a powerful way to connect people to the cause. Click here to find out more:
