Collective Charter for our Blue Spaces
Together with over 300 students, teachers, and families, we created a collective charter to protect and promote our natural blue spaces in Central Bedfordshire.
Our Natural Blue Spaces is a project dedicated to exploring and celebrating the beauty of Blue Spaces—rivers, lakes, canals, and ponds—within the Central Bedfordshire area through a blend of art, workshops and community engagement.

This project makes what is possible on the waterways present.
Kayaking for one year in Leighton Buzzard Canal, doing it 5 times a week. Enjoying the waterways, sometimes falling in them.
Created a walking stick from Hawthrone wood found in Tiddenfoot.
Admire waterway dwellers, grit, resilient and tranquil existence.
Taking an inflatable kayak to the canal for the first time. Stopping at the Grove Lock for a drink.
Enjoying special walks with my little boy in his pram after a sleepless night. Allowing the water and nature to wash away my worries!
Returning to the two path after 4 years to meet my childhood best friend. We walked for hours through Tiddenfoot, past the pub and home. I saw King Fisher, too!
So inspired by the lad who kayaked up the Thames to raise money- impressive.
Me and my granddad used to sit on his boat and watch the fish in the water. It was amazing! I love the water. In 2020, he died but his story still lives on!
Being by the water making me feel calm and relaxed.
Regarding those who live on the waterways, I admire their grit and resilience, but I mostly admire their peace and existence.
We are on a canal-breaking holiday. We are out of the Canal; someone left the lock gates open.
