Since lockdown, I have been researching the natural habitat of hedgerows and their colours. I was part of the ‘Green Plan’ Hedgerow Survey Team; a joint initiative between the Watlington Climate Action Group and the Watlington Environment Group and then I went on to carry out a research project with The University of Oxford’s ‘Science Together’ project with the Watlington Climate Action Group. We developed a community outreach programme centred on hedgerow inks & pigments and we also researched mixing natural hedgerow pigments into CO2 absorbing plastic VOC-free paint.
