The Wollemi Pine

Today’s young people in schools will become tomorrow’s creative innovators, devising lifestyle solutions that help cut global carbon emissions to zero by 2050.

At the beginning of a new decade, we have started experimenting with using heritage collections and linked resources on The Earth Museum to support classroom-based learning about climate change.

Thanks to Gosport and Fareham Multi-Academy Trust teachers and year 7 students for helping us on this journey during January, and we are looking forward to our continued working partnership.
