The good work by local volunteers, organisations and businesses risked being overshadowed by crime in Connah’s Quay in Flintshire. To combat this a project run by the Flintshire Local Nature Partnership sought to showcase the benefits of engaging with local coastal areas by producing films featuring local stakeholders.
The project engaged 40+ volunteers as well as local business owners and filmed a range of stakeholders such as a local chef, fishermen, the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), and a local influencer.
People who engaged with the project were amazed at the local wildlife present in what is perceived as an urban area. The project brought about the discovery of common lizards on an old landfill site which led to plans for creating a natural habitat for the breeding ground via the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust.
Filming with RNLI Flint also enabled the organisation to highlight the dangers of the estuary, encourage its safe use, and promote the work by their team of volunteers.
