Reel Nature was there to document London Environmental Networks first Depave Paradise event at Fanshawe College in August 2021. The focus was on revitalizing the neglected Arts Courtyard to create a more functional and engaging environment for students, staff, and visitors.

The site now includes porous pavement (a permeable surface material made from recycled tires) and a rain and pollinator garden featuring over 150 native plants and 2 trees.
