The Spirit of Hogganfield Loch

The Spirit of Hogganfield Loch connected young people with their local greenspace through participatory and creative activities and supported them share to their discoveries through the creation of new and innovative interpretation.

Ruchazie Pantry youth group and students from Glasgow Kelvin College explored the natural histories of some of the park’s inhabitants and their representation in folklore archaeology, art and poetry. They created four unique animation shorts to celebrate the extraordinary species that can be found in your local park. Pupils from St Philomena’s’ and St Rose of Lima were supported to create a film that shares their journey in connecting with the park through games and word association and the importance of caring for your local greenspace.

The Spirit of the Loch project was developed and led by Seven Lochs Wetland Park and Ruchazie Community Council.
