Green Space Dark Skies illuminates nature’s beauty

The project addressed post-COVID-19 changes in outdoor entertainment, emphasising community celebrations and the value of outdoor time. Described by participants as “stunning” and “emotional,” Green Space Dark Skies successfully reconnected people with nature.

 

Thousands became Lumenators, carrying low-impact lights across 20 scenic locations around the UK, creating mesmerising patterns in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Walk the Plank orchestrated events from April to September 2022, highlighting accessible natural spaces and encouraging those unfamiliar to participate.
