Watercress & Winterbournes - Bourne Rivulet

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust (HIWWT)

Local communities are coming together on an exciting landscape-scale Heritage Lottery Funded project called Watercress & Winterbournes. The project aims to have robust headwater habitats and built heritage now and in the future. Watercress & Winterbournes is in its development phase and has a real emphasis on community engagement.

If you care about nature, history, walking or you just love where you live, then do come along to the event".

Maggie Shelton from the Wildlife Trust explains, “Community collaboration is essential to the success of this project. As Community Catchments Officer, I meet with local people in relaxed community-focussed events. Here we share knowledge and stories about heritage, invasive species, access, education, plants and animals, over a cup of tea. A follow-up event allows us to discuss and choose potential projects for inclusion in the Lottery bid. If successful, there will be 5 years’ worth of funding and support.

I am running these events right now in each catchment. These give local residents the opportunity to help decide the direction of Watercress & Winterbournes in their area. If you care about nature, history, walking or you just love where you live, come along and join your local event. I would really value your input.”
