About this Event

Please note this event is aimed at Devon based Teachers and school adults only

Did you know that following the publication of the Department of Education's 'Sustainability and Climate Strategy' paper all schools in the UK are meant to have a climate action plan in place and a sustainability lead by 2025?

Come and join us on the 16th October at Killerton House, a beautiful National Trust property just outside of Exeter to learn all about climate action plans and how to create one. This is a FREE event (with a free lunch) and there are limited tickets so if you want to attend please book a ticket now.
