Heritage Eco-Schools Topic
As part of Our Heritage, Our Future, we have developed a new Heritage Topic for Eco-Schools which guides young people through the impact that climate change is having on our built, cultural and natural heritage.
The topic is now live and schools can select Heritage for their Eco-Schools Green Flag award.
