Hi everyone,

I've set up this page to tell you about all those who are supporting us and the Railway Land Wildlife Trust by organising their own Living Water Challenges and to explain how you can help us too.

Water has shaped our landscape and environment. It also contributes greatly to the variety of ways we can enjoy our leisure time.

Because of the importance of water in our lives the “Living Water Walks and Living Water Challenge sponsored events are designed to celebrate this fact, and offer individuals the chance to share with others the enjoyment they experience through waterside or water-based activities. Send us your photos, diary entries , poems. Share your experiences on your challenges with us.

We will use your sponsorship money and any materials you send us to enrich the experience of the Adults with Learning Difficulties and the school children who are engaged in our project.  We want to record as many dots on our map of the world as possible!

Funds raised will help us to:-

a. build and equip the Linklater Pavilion – Centre for the study of environmental change and/or

b. continue the RLWT’s environmental / educational work.

For more information about this exciting project visit www.railwaylandproject.org

So what's already going on?

In our first few days we  already had supporters planning challenges in Alfriston, Australia, Ireland , Peru and the U.S.A. I will keep you updated on their progress and publish pictures of completed challenges.

My friend Sally Evans has done the first ever Living Water Challenge in Maryland U.S.A. Click here to see where.
