St Julie's is one of six schools selected to take part in SCHOOL NATURE MAP, an exciting new project dot art are working on with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, helping bring to life the new Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) being developed for the region. You can read more about the background to this project here.

Some of our Year 9 students got to work with the artist Joe Venning for the day to create work that  highlights the areas of existing natural importance, areas that could be made important in the future, and the keys species found there which need to be protected. Students began by creating acrylic painting of different species and then pen doodle maps of the area. Students relished the opportunity to work with an artist and commented that it was the best day ever! We are so proud of the work they created and are excited to see the final piece that will combine the artwork from all six schools.

The artworks be displayed in a public exhibition in Mann Island Atrium in Spring 2025 and digital versions of the map and its individual elements will be included in strategy itself.
