THE Somerset Wildlife Trust, HPC CIM funded Somerset Brilliant Coast team, is currently working in partnership the ‘Litter Free Coast and Sea Somerset’ (hosted by the Severn Estuary Partnership and funded by Wessex Water) and with the Carymoor Environmental Trust to launch a new local environmental award scheme, called Somerset Schools Coastal Champions. Schools who sign up will be supported through a series of activities and challenges which can be closely linked to existing curriculum targets and will fit well with and complement other schemes, like EcoSchools and Plastic Free Schools. The award has a distinctive coastal slant and will help connect young people with their amazing but often neglected coastal environment.
