Workshop description and Images from the Harrison's Greenhouse Britain workshop.

Newton and Helen introduced a new project they will be working on this year, called provisionally Three Moors, covering the whole of Devon and including Exmoor, Dartmoor, and Bodmin Moor. This project will look at revisioning Devon by its watershed's and rethinking communities, carbon sequestration (re-forestation) and agriculture.

Part of the beginning of the re-thinking process invovles mapping the river watersheds. We were all on our knees crawling over ordinance survey maps covering the whole of Devon, marking out the watersheds. This practice enabled us to think again about differeing routes of communication, which did not follow main roads or imposed man made structures. In the discussion that followed we began to think about using the streams and valleys both for food and communication. What would happen to farming? What about using the stream valleys as micro-climates, would the ancient occupation sites have anything to tell us? Could the three moors be linked at all? What are the practicalitities of travelling over the moors?
