Marsh Meadow Cookham



Marsh Meadow in Cookham Berkshire was a project that started in 1997 to create a habitation area alongside the river that would act as a retreat for birds, insects and generally mammals of all sizes and kinds. The project was started by Holy Trinity school in cookham back in 1997 when i was still at school there.

It was a project with which the school worked with the natural trust to create this marsh area which would be fed by the river Thames and over the winter months would flood to allow new species of plants to breed and also to make the vast derelict area of grass and woodland more enjoyable along this part of Cookham and the Thames.

After Re- visiting the Marsh meadow after almost 9 years it is remarkable how it has developed and flurished itself into an eco- system that depends upon the Thames that runs along side it.
