Free as a Bird

Created by: Charlotte Pepper

Sponsored by: Nature Positive Portsmouth

Location: Eastern Road

Free as a Bird is inspired by the Farlington Marshes. Charlotte loves being outdoors and in nature, and much of her inspiration comes from animals, birds, plants and flowers. She also believes that spending time in nature helps us feel better. It gives us a chance to pause, breathe, reflect, clear our minds and find some calm before we return to our busy lives.

By bringing the marshes into the city, she hopes people can enjoy the wonderful birds that live there. She also hopes it might encourage others to visit, or simply to notice the nature around them a little more.
