Thousands of individually made pom-poms and textile tufts adorn a fleecy carpet of Dartmoor wool, creating a vibrant beautiful mossy carpet. Each moss-like pompom celebrates someone’s contribution to making the world better for all of life. 

Come and add your own moss creations (wool is supplied but donations would be much appreciated). This is a free drop in activity for anyone who wishes to be part of a creative conversation for the planet.

Creative activities help us to slow down, have better conversations, imagine new things, have fun and feel more connected.

Carbon looms large, it is the giant of our times. On our own, we can feel powerless, but we can work together and want this artwork to give people inspiration, comfort and hope.

We encourage you to look closely at real mosses and their intricate beauty and ecological significance for our environment. Take them as your inspiration as you join us in making this epic artwork.

Have you heard about the Mossy Carpet? The Mossy Carpet is a collaborative artwork by our friends Art and Energy, inspired by moss and made by many people!

Waggy Walks at Parke

Between 12 July and 4 August, Butterfly Conservation are calling for people of all ages across the UK to get outside and count butterflies.

As well as being lots of fun, the information you provide helps experts understand how butterflies and day-flying moths are doing, and how we can help protect them for the future.

Pick up your Butterfly Conservation spotter sheet at the Parke Welcome van to take part, or visit the Butterfly Conservation website and download the free app.

Take part in this year's Big Butterfly Count at Parke or at home and become a citizen scientist!
