Thank you to the schools that entered and we look forward to seeing more next year.

An evening listening to @guyshrubsole.bsky.social and others in Exeter was inspiring. So lovely to hear positive stories about the environment, and what is being done to protect our temperate rainforest. Left with so many ideas to update our lesson about temperate rainforest π³π§
