Emerge - A Take Art Project

16/09/2025

Soundbath from Bincombe Beeches Nature Reserve 🌿 We are so fortunate to call this beautiful place home.

Climate change doesn’t affect just “somewhere else” — it affects us all. Whether it’s floods, heatwaves, or shifts in the land and wildlife around us, Somerset is already feeling the impact. The Emerge Project is about recognising those changes together, and exploring how creativity and community can respond. 🌱

Our team is currently applying for funding to continue bringing this project to life. Thank you for your support and we can't wait to share more with you soon.

Let’s brainstorm together! 🌍👇

Somerset’s history is deeply connected to climate change. From the great floods of the past to changes in land use, our county has always adapted. But flooding remains one of the biggest climate challenges for Somerset. With sea levels rising, this risk is increasing.

💭 What do you think? Have you or someone you know been impacted by flooding? What changes have you noticed in your lifetime? How should we adapt for the future? Comment below! 👇
