Help us Crowdfund for The Mossy Carpet finale
Over 72,000 people across the South-West region and further afield have joined in to make this massive mossy artwork. The Mossy Carpet is now more than 75 metres long, full of mossy tufts and pompoms, and still growing.
During this final stage of the project we're inviting communities to come along to a special event in Plymouth to roll out the full artwork and come together in celebration.
If we raise enough money then we'll spread further to include events in Dartmoor, Exeter, Cornwall and Bristol!
The Mossy Carpet Crowdfunder:
£11,000 would bring the artwork to life and set up a powerful energetic event to increase climate literacy and create nature-connected climate action.
We need your help to:
Set up and run the celebration event in Plymouth in autumn 2025, including two interactive solar-powered artworks that celebrate the sustainable future we’re working towards.
Include a moss ecology table from which people learn the role of nature
You are all invited to this celebratory event.... Walk through the Tardigrade Portal solar archway and along the Mossy Carpet, feel the mossy pompoms, hear different voices telling of the small things that we are all doing to make the world better.
Why is this different to Peat-Fest South-West?
We have been very fortunate to gain funding from the National Lottery for Heritage Fund to run a region-wide peatland festival encouraging people (particularly young people) to love peat, feel it's power and experience it's heritage. This series of events will take place alongside a variety of peatlands from in Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Festival participants will all be invited to add to the Mossy Carpet artwork, but the focus will be the peatlands.
This Mossy Carpet Finale is a little different, focusing on the creativity and mass participation artwork.
