Jaywick Martello Tower: Wild Jaywick
The Wild Jaywick exhibition celebrates the release of the Wild Jaywick booklet.
The booklet is a collection of creative writing from the Jaywick Writers' Group exploring the diverse nature that can be found in Jaywick Sands.
The booklet is supported and enhanced by Essex Wildlife Trust's photographic archive and inspired by the Trust's project: Nextdoor Nature, which aims to raise awareness and, therefore, appreciate the value of the wildlife and natural world on our doorstep.
