The town (parish) of Lewes in East Sussex is rich in British folklore. Yet, this small community of roughly 100,000
residents is now attempting to undo previous history, at least from an environmental standpoint. Due to many years of heavy foot traffic, much of the local park paths have become worn and barren. The plan calls for providing local dog walkers with backpacks filled with flower seeds. Pet owners are encouraged to have their four legged friends wear them as they wander the park. These packs disperse seeds in a similar manner in which wolves did years ago. Dogs, much like their undomesticated cousins, roam to places humans can't reach, offering better seed distribution. More importantly, the local community has joyfully embraced the concept and participation has been high.
