Funded by DEFRA’s Resilience Innovation Programme, Blue Heart is investigating how rain, river and waste water move through Eastbourne and southern Wealden to help reduce the impact of flooding. Blue Heart are working with local organisations and communities to build resilience to flooding and other effects of climate change, be more sustainable and strengthen connections to our local environment. The latest BBC programme narrated by David Attenborough, Wild Isles, looks at the beauty of nature here in Britain and Ireland. We were joined by Nick Gates one of its directors and producers at the Towner Gallery in Eastbourne for a special event. Nick is a naturalist, producer, and writer based in Bristol. The South Downs feature in the series and Nick grew up in Sussex. With a passion for conservation, nature-friendly farming, and rewilding, he loves to find stories that inspire people to care for the natural world.
