2019-21 project documenting home educating families exploring and conserving the area around Greenlee Lough - the largest body of water in Northumberland, UK. This area is rich in peat bog, which holds back water, preventing flooding in the area's towns further downstream. The group worked with farmers, the Barnes family, who manage their land - a SSSI, with the ecology of the area first and foremost in their practices. As part of their Awards, the families made repairs to willow barriers in the peat bog and planted trees around the periphery.
