Excerpt from www.milton.ca/en/news/exclusively-inclusive-traffic-boxes...:
The Town of Milton, with partners Arts Milton and Red T Media, are excited to launch a two-year public art project funded by the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism's Anti-Racism Anti-Hate Grant Program.
This year "Exclusively Inclusive” is a public art project that explores the themes of racism and hate with the hope that we can all do better. Ten artists have created art to be placed on certain traffic boxes in Milton. The traffic box art speaks to inclusion, diversity, and equity themes. The artists themselves represent diverse backgrounds and experiences, and each artist has brought their unique perspective to the themes of the collection. Part of the images created for the traffic boxes are included in an exhibit in Holcim gallery, along with an additional art piece contributed by each artist.
The first of the traffic box installations have occurred with the remaining nine installations occurring over the next while.
"As A Place of Possibility, the Town of Milton aims to be a community that is a leader when it comes to welcoming diversity and celebrating inclusion. There is no place for hate and racism in our community. Sharing messages of inclusion, diversity and equity through art provides an opportunity for individuals of all ages to see, reflect, and start the conversation. We are fortunate to partner with these talented artists, and thank Arts Milton and Red T Media their leadership on this public art project that delivers such an important message.”

Leighton Moss is the largest reedbed in north-west England, and home to some really special birds such as breeding bitterns, bearded tits and marsh harriers. You might see deer too, not to mention butterflies aplenty!
Opening times
The reserve and visitor centre are open daily all year round (except 25 December). The reserve is open from 9 am to dusk and the visitor centre from 9.30 am-5 pm (4.30 pm November-January inclusive).
Entrance charges
Free to the visitor centre and tearoom. Admission to hides and nature trails: £4.50 adults, £3 concessions, £1 children, £9 family. Free to RSPB members and those who come by public transport or on bike.
Avocet
Avocets can be seen from the hides overlooking the Allen and Eric Morecambe Pools in spring and summer.
Bearded tit
A year-round attraction here in the extensive reedbeds. They form flocks in autumn and can often be seen picking up grit from special tables on the causeway or directly from the paths.
Bittern
Bitterns can be heard 'booming' from the causeway between march and May. Scan over the reedbeds and you may catch a glimpse of one in flight - particularly in May and June. You may also see one sitting at the edge of the pools on frosty winter days.
Marsh harrier
Spring brings displaying marsh harriers to Leighton Moss. The males and females are busy feeding their young throughout summer and can often be seen hunting over the reedbed.
Water rail
Watch from the hides for water rails emerging to feed on the edge of the channels and pool within the reedbed. They may venture out onto exposed mud when the water drops in late summer and autumn or onto ice in winter.
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Booming bitterns in the reedbeds, best heard from the Causeway. Marsh harriers displaying high above the reedbeds. Butterflies along the reserve trails. The arrival of summer-visiting birds fills the reedbed with the rattling calls of sedge and reed warblers. Birdsong can be enjoyed in the woodland. Buzzards can be seen daily flying over the reserve. On the Allen and Eric Morecambe pools, large flocks of migrant black-tailed godwits stop off on their way to Iceland and the first avocets return to nest.
Summer
The special sight of marsh harriers passing food to each other in flight. Red deer grazing the Jackson and Griesdale meres in the evenings. The sight and sound of a busy black-headed gull colony. A chance to see young bitterns venturing out into the edges of the pools to feed, as well as a variety of young waterbirds. A succession of marsh flowers along the reserve tracks. Avocets and their chicks on the Allen and Eric Morecambe pools.
Autumn
Parties of bearded tits flying across the reeds and picking up grit from the paths. Huge flocks of starlings wheeling above the reedbed before pouring into the reeds to roost. Migrant wading birds, especially greenshanks, ruffs and returning black-tailed godwits on the pools viewed from the Allen and Eric Morecambe hides.
Winter
Teals, shovelers and gadwalls join the resident ducks to congregate in large numbers in the pools. Bitterns and water rails can be seen out on the ice during cold spells. Flocks of siskins feed in the alders. Flocks of wigeons and greylag geese graze the saltmarsh at the Allen and Eric Morecambe pools, and are regularly disturbed by wintering peregrines and merlins.

Educational facilities
Education visits to Leighton Moss offer an exciting opportunity for your pupils to explore nature through the first-hand study of birds, other animals and plants. Led by professional RSPB educators, the curriculum-linked programmes are safe, hands-on, thought-provoking and fun. Approved as a safe provider of outdoor education activities by Lancashire County Council, Leighton Moss's risk-assessed programmes help children to understand the value of wildlife and natural places through experiential learning. Leighton Moss has the largest remaining reedbed in north-west England - a magical place where you and your pupils could hear the bitterns booming in the spring, watch the marsh harriers swooping in the summer or see the meres full of over-wintering ducks and geese in the winter. With a well-equipped classroom, shop, picnic area, trails and bird hides, Leighton Moss is the ideal place to bring your class for an unforgettable experience of nature. You can visit any day of the year. Our start times are flexible to suit you. It is advisable to book well in advance for the summer term, which is our busiest time. We can cater for two classes (or approximately 60 children), which will be divided into smaller groups of approximately 15.

A closer view of the abandoned Acciaierie Falck steel plant, built between 1917 and 1933 & closed in 1995. It played an important role in Italy's 20th century industrial history but is now the largest urban redevelopment project in Italy and one of the biggest in Europe, "transforming the 1.5 million-square-meter former industrial area into a sustainable and inclusive urban centre".

This is the first in a series of "Friday face" candid photos taken at the recent Lumenator event flic.kr/p/2nrGedP. One of the main objectives of Green Space Dark Skies is to encourage groups of people who do not naturally see the countryside as their destination to feel more at home there.
"Green Space Dark Skies is about class and landscape, race and landscape, disability and landscape"
(In case anyone asks, one of the conditions of entry was that you gave permission to be photographed at the event. However, should anyone ask for their photo to be removed I will do so)
