"Follow Y/Our River: A Manual for Deep Mapping in the Lower Lea Valley," crafted by paula roush and tamara stoll, serves as a guide to their place-based teaching approach, utilizing the Lower Lea Valley as a live classroom.

This manual outlines a methodology for exploring watery landscapes, emphasizing deep mapping techniques that intertwine photography, ecological studies, and experiential learning.

By inviting students to engage deeply with the river Lea and its surroundings, the project fosters a profound connection between personal memories, water, and landscape. It not only documents their journey of discovery but also equips others with the tools to explore their own relationships with watery places, making it an invaluable resource for educators and students alike.
