Research

We will engage with 14 to 18 year olds in Wigan and Leigh (Greater Manchester). This group will work with academics, song-writers and the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside (LWT) to co-create songs that respond to the long story of climate change and the human contribution to this. The activities are rooted in a place - the Carbon Landscape - and emerge from the ideas of the young people involved. The Carbon Landscape is a post-industrial urban landscape shaped by coal and peat extraction in which restoration activities are taking place.
