Projects: Earthed News 2009/2010
EARTHED: Back From the Brink, Slimbridge were successful in making the Shortlist for THE SUSTAIN' MAGAZINE AWARDS 2010. Shortlisted for category Sector One: Construction
SLIMBRIDGE WILDFOWL & WETLAND TRUST, South Gloucestershire
Back From the Brink
Earthed were contracted by Slimbridge WWT to build a cob and timber frame viewing gallery to house the new exhibition of wetland mammals on the site. The cob walls in combination with a timber frame structure supports a living roofâ of wild flowers and are finished with a lime plaster and earthen render.
Part of a larger project Back from the Brink, the building was conceived by Simon Rose of Slimbridge WWT to be of the landscape in which it was located; the Trust wished to employ a more natural building method in line with its conservation philosophy, reflecting its immediate surroundings and local materials.
Pondzone
May 2010 Slimbridge will once again invite you to experience the new developments taking place on site which includes new amphibian breeding grounds, a play pond for younger children and a beautiful new timber frame building with living roof in their Pondzone area. Earthed worked with Julian Edmondson of Slimbridge WWT to provide an exciting teaching structure which will provide an educational space for visiting groups and is also where visitors are invited to examine there pond dipping findings.

It rained and rained and rained
The average fall was well maintained
And when the tracks were simple bogs
It started raining cats and dogs
After a drought of half an hour
We had a most refreshing shower
And then the most curious thing of all
A gentle rain began to fall
Next day but one was fairly dry
Save for one deluge from the sky
Which wetted the party to the skin
And then at last the rain set in....
