“Wetlands are so crucial for biodiversity, for the climate, and often for local people’s ways of life. As a Cumbrian poet and climate activist, it’s an honour to be invited to represent my local wetland and tell these important stories. Foulshaw Moss is a site close to my heart, and so is this project.” – Matt Sowerby, writer, poet, activist
