The Concept – ‘wire-frame’
•To build an evidence based visual model of the Ouse Washes that:
•Represents a commonly agreed picture of what the Washes do and demonstrates the importance of the system
•Presents an agreed view of how the system works
•Demonstrates the multiple benefits (interaction between): agriculture, local economy, wildlife & nature
•…forms a foundation for agreeing the future priorities, and possible precursor to a combined strategy.
Objectives: Ouse Washes Visual Model- Environment Agency
