East Devon District Council has been urged to prioritise finding a new vision for the Seaton Jurassic site following the Devon Wildlife Trust’s decision to cease operation at the site.
Seaton Jurassic, which consists of exhibition galleries, education areas, gardens and a café, is owned by East Devon District Council and was opened in 2016.
Since then, 250,000 visitors have come to explore its unique interpretation of the story of life and its evolution from the Jurassic to the present day.
But the Devon Wildlife Trust wrote to East Devon in March to confirm they wished to step away from the centre as the risk of committing further funds to upgrading the displays was too great when considering the losses they had made in recent years.
