21 primary schools and 4 secondaries signed up for a ground-breaking zoom conference called Zero Carbon Schools which took place on Thursday 15th October. The Marches Climate Education Group, founded by teachers who want schools in Herefordshire to take action to tackle the climate crisis, organised the event, working closely with a number of partners.
During the one day event, experts spoke to eco reps, eco leads and head teachers in workshops which covered carbon emissions, youth activism and energy saving within schools. |
We utilise the marquees and yurt covered spaces set-up for the following weekend’s Spring Greens Fair. The Fair celebrates the work of the young people throughout the environmental presentations, debates, workshop activities, performances and other local exhibition stalls.

For the past 4 years, Spring Greens has offered these days for Schools, bringing together local Primary and Secondary children for a day of environmental workshops. They are organised into mixed schools collaborative groups for the day to take part in these inspiring outdoor activities at the beautiful Court of Noke, Pembridge.
