We’re building floating city wetlands to bring nature back to Bristol.

Many cities, like Bristol, were built on wetlands. But to make space for us to live, huge drainage systems were created and the water was removed. This has led to some massive problems: less space for nature, more polluted water, and a greater risk of flooding.
That’s why, in our 43rd mission, we went to Bristol and partnered with WWT to bring wetlands back to the city. For this mission, we're also joined by sustainability creator @itsSamBentley.
Together, we're building floating wetlands in Bristol Hardor. We're also helping develop a miniature “wetland-in-a-box” that enables anyone with a drainpipe to rewild their city.
Special thanks to FLYNN for providing a render of the upcoming "wetland-in-a-box".

Also great to see the collab with Mr. Bentley.
Hoping and looking forward to Bristol achieving the status of becoming UK's first wetland city over the next few years, and for countless projects like this to spring up across the world!
Thank you Planet Wild – you are an inspiration, and I'm so glad to be supporting you. ☺️
