An A14 team member who was using his excavator to move materials and soil spotted an injured barn owl in spring 2019. Its leg was bruised and it was unable to fly, so the environment team took the owl to the Raptor Foundation near Wyton. Two weeks later the owl had made a good recovery and was set free near the site where it had been found.
Nutrias are from South America but now live all over the world, imported by humans for their fur. Nutrias thrive in Louisiana but are a major pest. They reproduce fast, burrow into wetlands soil, and eat plants down to the roots, destroying the fragile links that hold the wetlands together. (Bayou Coquille Trail).

This is a picture taken of a beautiful spacious but empty swimming pool which is ideally located on the compound of the Wellesley High Rise Apartments.
It is a crying shame that unfortunately the residents are not allowed to make effective use of this facility. Since residents live in such crowded apartments they should have easy access to outdoor facility which will serve to promote motor skills and encourage them to socialize in the outdoor location.
The pool is almost always deserted and the authorities should provide a resident life guard on site to ensure residents could use the pool under guided supervision.
The residents will be more than willing to enrol their children in swimming classes and pay a fee for the upkeep and maintenance of the facility which unfortunately is left unattended most of the year. What is the benefit of a facility that is not in proper condition for the people to enjoy? If the authorities are unable to provide the proper maintenance it should seek outside help from the office of the mayor or other charitable organizations to assist in the upkeep and efficient running of the facility.

Here you can see what it's like to try and sneak up on some damselfish. This is where, on the approach, I can first spy some great damselfish and start looking for a place where I can put a couple of fingers down (again, on rock, not on coral) to steady myself and hunker down for several shots.
2D aspect
- Statement of Intent for Environment 2D -
The theme of my AS art coursework is ENVIRONMENT. In both my areas of 2D and 3D, I have decided to look at architectures in the environment. The subject matter will differ a little to one another depending on the media of the two.
I have always been interested in details and intricacy of objuects. Hence for my 2D area, I will look at Architectures of antiquity. Focusing on the details on its façade and interior, the decorations, making use of the many medias categorised as 2D. After looking at a number of artists i am particularly drawn to a British artist, JOHN RUSKIN (1819-1900). A leading english art critic of the Victorian era. He was also an art patron and draughtsman among many others. He did detailed sketches and painting of rocks, plants, birds, landscapes, and architectural structures and ornamentation. Also writing on subjects spanning over a large range. from geology to architecture, literature to education, Botany to political economy. His writing style and literary forms were equally varied. Essays, treatises, poetry, lectures, travel guides, manuals, letters and even a fairy tale. My initial idea for my final piece is to create a drawing of fragments/ sections of a building influenced by one of Ruskin’s “Fragments from Abbeville, Lucca, Venice and Pisa”
