Colin Taylor, Senior Flood & Coastal Risk Management Advisor at the Environment Agency, said: “Seeing the community come together with the ASEA project team for this mural project has been inspiring. The mural not only serves as a striking visual enhancement to our flood defence wall but is also a reminder of the importance of protecting our local environment and the role we all play in its preservation.”
Graft’s artists aimed to capture the essence of Lamplighter’s Marsh in their design, featuring an array of local wildlife, including curlew, oystercatcher, heron, comma butterfly, burnet moth, dragonfly, Viper’s bugloss, teasel and mullein. Depicted with vivid colours and details, the mural celebrates the nature reserve, which includes a variety of semi-natural habitats including scrub, grassland and salt marsh.
