Fruitful Futures Imagining Pomona
Description:
Part artwork, part research document, this book catalogues the abundant nature of an abandoned area at Pomona Docks, Manchester, and the struggles that scientists and activists encountered trying to conserve it. You can still visit the site as I did, but sadly building works have started developing on the site now. “With Pomona Island now pinned for long-lasting development it is important to make it absolutely clear that this landscape is not a wasteland but a celebration of the natural world, or at least it could be. Can you imagine a nature reserve sitting on the borderlands between Trafford, Salford and Manchester? Three post-industrial powerhouses coming together and recognising the importance of having nature right here on our doorstep.”
