A 12-acre wildflower habitat is being created in Morecambe as part of a partnership with the Eden Project and PlayStation.
To celebrate the launch of new game, Horizon Forbidden West, PlayStation is partnering with the Eden Project, home of the National Wildflower Centre, to highlight the importance of the UK’s crucial wildflower habitats.
Drawing on the immense beauty of the natural world portrayed in Horizon Forbidden West, the partnership will see the creation of a 12-acre wildflower habitat in Morecambe, Lancashire, that will be sown in March 2022. The habitat will be spread across sites in and around the town, located at sites including Sunny Slopes in Heysham, one of the main gateways on to the promenade, as well as West End Gardens and Happy Mount Park.
This new habitat will be developed to support local wildlife, aid biodiversity, and connect the local community to the natural world.
Morecambe has been chosen because it is due to be home to Eden Project North, a new attraction designed to reimagine the British seaside resort for the 21st century and showcase the incredible life and rhythms of Morecambe Bay. Eden Project North was granted planning permission last month and is due to open in 2024.
David Harland, CEO Eden Project International, said: “We are delighted to be working with PlayStation to create new wildflower habitats in Morecambe.
‘’In supporting these new nature spaces this project further underlines our commitment to the town and our desire to make a lasting transformation to the residents of Morecambe and the place they live.”
To launch the partnership, PlayStation and the Eden Project have lit up the iconic Eden Project Biomes in Cornwall, UK, as a representation of Aloy’s Shieldwing that features in Horizon Forbidden West.
