Projects: Earthed News 2009/2010 EARTHED: Back From the Brink, Slimbridge were successful in making the Shortlist for THE SUSTAIN' MAGAZINE AWARDS 2010. Shortlisted for category Sector One: Construction SLIMBRIDGE WILDFOWL & WETLAND TRUST, South Gloucestershire Back From the Brink Earthed were contracted by Slimbridge WWT to build a cob and timber frame viewing gallery to house the new exhibition of wetland mammals on the site. The cob walls in combination with a timber frame structure supports a ˜living roofâ of wild flowers and are finished with a lime plaster and earthen render. Part of a larger project Back from the Brink, the building was conceived by Simon Rose of Slimbridge WWT to be of the landscape in which it was located; the Trust wished to employ a more natural building method in line with its conservation philosophy, reflecting its immediate surroundings and local materials. Pondzone May 2010 Slimbridge will once again invite you to experience the new developments taking place on site which includes new amphibian breeding grounds, a play pond for younger children and a beautiful new timber frame building with living roof in their Pondzone area.
